This message is from: Ardeth Obenauf <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I just returned from Georgetown, Ky where my 4 yr old fjord mare, Lena, placed second overall in Single Pony Training Level at the Gayla Bluegrass CDE. This was her first competitive event and only her second trip away from home.
We were first in dressage under one judge and second under the other, 5th in cones and tied for 1st with no penalties after the marathon. Lena took everything in stride with the exception of the one post with three black paper plates on it that caused a momentary startle. Even though it pelted down rain on Saturday for dressage and cones, she did what I asked of her. There was also a pair of fjords entered and three other fjords present that live full time at the Gayla Driving Center. They all had a good time greeting each other and calling across the fence to each other. My navigator, Jeanette Haislip, another fjord owner, was a huge help keeping everyone calm, on track and on time. We all had a great time and expect to do this again soon.
