Caber Farm Horse Trials

8/30/2014

I took Paktaly only to Caber Farm. Our dressage was ok, and CX we did better...but we did had one stop...at a coop in the woods!!!
We also had a stop in stadium at a triple bar, then went clear over it...and no rails down, but this left us in 14th place...
Next day at home Alex, the working student from England noticed he did not want to stand square and so the chiropractor came out the next day...and of course as I waited for his appointment...he stood square again...
He got adjusted anyway, but there was nothing out of the ordinary...

Young riders horse trials

Zoe and I rode Kegas and Paktayi at the Young Riders Horse Trials in Centralia, WA.
On Friday we did an extra dressage test, and we were both happy with our horses and scores, and the show started on Saturday where I got the exact same score as the day before, a 39.4 .
We did show jumping the same day and did well.
Sunday cross country I had 3 refusals at 3 different jumps! So we finished but had a huge amount of jump and time penalties!
Zoe had a stop at the water and thought she was eliminated and left the course...but according to scoring she wasn't eliminated...
Still we are happy with our rides, Zoe had never evented on Kegas and it was her first Novice event.
