Merriewold GalaxieÂ (Iron Forge Starman x Ringbrook Renaissance) four year old chestnut mare, went to her second show in August.Â It was open, USEF and USDF rated.Â SheÂ competed inÂ two classes, Training level 2 and 4.Â Here are some comments from trainer Sally Anderson:

“Gal was so well behaved at the show!Â Ashley, my 6 year old daughter, brushed her and led her around all day.Â Her first test was training level test 2.Â She was first place out of 9 with a score of 68%.Â The next best was a 56%.Â At this show she definitely had the hang of being a show horse as she didn’t shy at anything and was an angel.”
