GMHA was a very successful outing for myself and my students.  Huey completed his first training level event, with x-c in the pouring rain.  He was 2nd after dressage and show jumped double clear.  He had a few time penalties x-c which moved us down to 8th.  Not disappointed at all.  He was very brave and clocked around like he was a pro.  Next up...Groton House Farm.  This will be, by far, a more difficult event.  Let's hope Huey stays confident to the water jump!

Beth Achorn and her daughter Brie competed at GMHA as well.  Beth came in 4th in her very competitive Novice division.  Brie came in 2nd in her Beginner Novice division.  We all survived the horrible elements on Sunday to have a safe and successful cross country ride.

The Achorn's are headed down to Valinor 6/12 & 6/13.  Kimber will be getting in another Training level horse trial before GHF.  Brie will be competing for a qualifying ride to compete at Pony Club Nationals.  Beth decided GMHA was so fun that she needed to get another fix and entered Kyra at Novice.  Good luck girls!

Huey and Gunnar are headed to NHHJA at The Tack Shack.  We need to get in some more show jumping rounds before Groton House.

Speaking of Gunnar...I have two new resale horses from Tom.  Gunnar & Scooter.  Both are very sweet.  Gunnar is very laid back and will make a great partner for anyone.  Hard to believe his is an OTTB.  Scooter thinks he's a person.  He hangs around the barn just to say hello and watch whatever you are doing.  I really like both of these horses.  They are going to make wonderful partners!

Until next time, ride forward and STAY ON!
