Galaxie earns the red ribbon

In early July, Merriewold Galaxie and her trainer Sally Anderson went to the Yakima Dressage Summer Classic show in Montana. This was Gal’s first show. It was an open, USEF and USDF rated show.  Gal’s sire, Iron Forge Starman also went to the show.  He and Sally are working on their gold medal.
Here are a few comments from Sally.  Gal did fabulous.  I rode her in all the arenas on Friday…we spent extra time walking relaxing and smelling the fake flowers.  Saturday we rode Training 1 and she was very relaxed and steady.  She received a 66%  (which turned out to be the red ribbon-second place).  I was pleased with her whole weekend.

The Morgan Medallion Regional Show

The AMHA regional horse show in Santa Barbara was lots of fun.  We saw friends, beautiful horses and had a chance to compete our Merriewold Morgans.

Jackie Brittain and WNC Rocket Man   Jackie and Rocket
Jackie and WNC Rocket Man did very well in their First level test 4 class.  Especially considering that Rocket started to experience a sore foot.  They were disappointed that they could not complete the Second level class that they have been working so hard on.

Mark Luis and Merriewold Fabien    Mark and Fabien
Mark Luis and Merriewold Fabien competed in the Open Reining class and Fabien made us all proud!  He has only been with Mark for six months and he went through the paces like a pro.  He executed spins and flying changes and the beginings of a sliding stop.  In his debut show, he was second in a class of three.

Cafe Chocolate
I had a chance to see Caduceus Marika’s foal (x Hillock Showson)  Cafe Chocolate.  “Woody” is 15.2 hands, has Marika’s lovely eyes and is doing extremely well in the Hunter division.
