Equine Institute - Combined Training One Day Event

After Northwest we packed up the ponies and Traveler's son - Timbuktu - and headed to Cle Elum for the One Day event.  Timbuktu did it - he was a little nervous being his first event of the season and the second one in his life - but we managed to complete it and place 7th!  He did well in dressage - we made it through cross-country with only one "scary" fence and stadium with it's one "scary" fence.
Next up my daughter, Luna, and my neice, Dayna, competed in the Intro Dressage test and placed 1st and 2nd!  Way to go girls.  Luna received a 37.5 (eventing score) on her mini, Podo.  The dressage judge had to take a picture of Luna and Podo they were such a cute pair!

Dayna and Marty were terrific in the dressage arena - what a great team.  We have one weekend off and then I take the kids and ponies up to the SASHA show.  Nothing cuter than kids and ponies.

NWEC May Classic - Open Novice

 Started the season out at the Northwest Equestrian Center's May Classic - Open Novice Division.  We had a great time - placed 6th with a ribbon and a prize.  Here we are doing our dressage.
This is our favorite part of dressage - the salute!  And then on to cross-country - we soared over the fences.  By far the best part.

Here we are after stadium.  Double Clear and resting to find out our placing.  Now on the the next.
