Mandolin, Wreggie, and Rocky all made the short trip to Latta Equestrian Center to compete at Lighten Up's first dressage schooling show of the year.
For Mandolin, it was her very first show and she overcame her first show jitters to get around the strange new arena with no major mistakes and ended up 2nd and 4th in her two trips down the centerline at Training Level 1 and 2. She will compete at Lighten up in April to see if she can improve her "jitters" and put in a test like she does at home! Just a few more miles in the show ring should do it.....
Wrendevouz, "Wreggie" as we know him, competed at Third Level for the first time (at only his 4th show ever)and ended 4th in a "Second Level and Above" class with a great score of 65% even though his rider (ah-hem)went of course!
Rock and Roll, or "Rocky" also showed Third Level for the first time, also in test and ended right behind Wreggie with a nice 63% and 5th place. We are so proud of our blooming Third Level stars!! Keep up the good work boys!
