 Speedy G after both rides. He looks quite proud of himself! Short on time, but here's the skinny: No 65% for Intro C. Rats. Instead, we earned a very respectable 63.5%. It's hard to be upset with that score. It's a good score. I'll try for the 65% again in a few weeks.
On the other hand, the 72.5% that we earned at Intro B is pretty awesome! What? Yep. You read that right. Let me say it again in case you missed it - 72.5%. At a three-star event no less. I haven't seen the overall scores for the entire show, but it certainly seems like a stand-out score to me. I said in yesterday's post that I thought we were ready to move up to Training Level 1. This score seems to confirm that. I think we're done with Intro B. Hello, T1. I am looking forward to meeting you! More tomorrow ... 10/31/2011 05:22:41 am
WTG! That's an awesome score!!!

Kelly - yes, both scores earned blue ribbons, but I was the only rider in my class so even a low score would have earned blue! I was disappointed by the 63.5%, which in and of itself is a very fine score, but it wasn't the 65% that I need. After thinking about it, I realized that it is score number 1 toward a California Dressage Society "plate". No need to be disappointed! Comments are closed.
