Novice Dressage (6/19/09) and Stadium (6/21/09) at Shepherd Ranch

[Brodiebby]

you guys did great (: haha at least you didn't go from 4th to 11th like I did. can't wait for August though, it should be a little better since I won't be as distracted and my pony will be a little more used to the program.

The jump from BN to novice is soo hard. D:

I give you credit. haha.

The test looked nice. Don't you hate it when you think you have a perfect test and the judge HATES your horse? I had a picture perfect test and I didn't even get a single eight. Just 6's and 7's!

Congrats on placing at your first novice! :D

i kno! it is!!! haha thxs

yes!!! this test, not one eight!! i was happy to get all 6s and 7s (and a couple 5s) tho , but they give way to many of those! everyones test looked pretty similar, they need to give a variety of marks i think

thanks so much =)

aww good job!! :) the dressage looked great for your first novice! and the stadium was fabulous! it really didn't look like much of your first novice! :) can't wait to see XC, and i talk to my guy through cross country all the time! like the whole way haha, not like he needs it he wont refuse anything but i think he likes it as a reassurance thing, and congrats finishing 5th!! my last novice event i placed 5th to!! haha
