This message is from: vivian creigh <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Fjords did very well at Bromont except for a few minor glitches. Beth Gerst sitting fourth after dressage would have ended up well into the ribbons had her boy not had a momentary resistance about the scary bridge which after the event was over he went over without issue, Shiloh was sixth after dressage in a huge class (17)of fiercely competitive marathon horses some of whom had dropped down to prelim because intermediate wasn't offered. She had a tremendous run in cones and I believe was third best prelim cones all classes and finished 8th overall. Very respectable in such a big class of experienced drivers and horses. Maggie Sullivan had another great show ending up third in prelim. Eline posted video of Winnie's go in dressage and cones on youtube here are the links for anyone interested: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pczSCaDOWqk
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3EER8Fy_DYg At Bromont in cones you drove the first 15 cones to count for your overall score. If you drove those 15 cones double clean , no time penalties no balls down they wouldn't blow the whistle and you kept on going through five more sets of cones for the overall cones championships. Since those last five don't count in your final placing you can take some risk and drive for speed. I wish that's how it was always done as it's really fun and really gets the spectators going. Nothing like a little crowd noise to get your adrenaline pumping! Vivian Creigh Rainbow's End Farm 740 Dutton District Rd.
