Since taking the ferry is costly, we decided to do the same schooling show back to back.
We all stayed in our same divisions, and opted to do better from the day before. 
Marina got 1st place in Hopeful, Sonja 2nd place in Beginner Novice, I got 5th place in Novice.

Sonja on Kegas doing her first Beginner Novice, Marina on Napoleon the pony doing Hopeful, and me on Paelka doing Novice, Jenny at the camera, she felt just too darn tired to ride after our busy week.

All phases are done in the same day.

We all had a great day, weather was perfect..
Marina and the pony were tied for 1st place, she lost by 1 point by her collective marks on her dressage test to break the tie. Sonja finished 4th and I did not place due to a refusal on CX.

We picked up 4 mares last Friday. First we dropped of 3 horses on Whidbey island for the show were were supposed to attend, then we went to the meeting place and waited for the shippers to arrive,...and waited....
Finally they did come, but we had to take the late boat home, to turn around early in the morning to ride at the show.
Most importantly, all the mares arrived in good health, and are gorgeous.
Aktepel is the dam of 3 mares, Ahli Rhatan a filly I bred, Shirin Giz, a mare I bred, and Gagatli is here from Florida.

Jenny has done a lot of vaulting with the kids this summer...here is a cool shot from one of the parents...

How silly is this?!!! It was actually hard taking pictures..I was laughing so hard...
