February is always crazy with IHSA & IDA shows every weekend. Last Friday (Feb 6th) we hosted a hunt seat show with 14 schools competing. Gilmore who returned to us from his retirement home about a year ago and who must be close to 30 was wild and had to be pulled from the walk, trot canter classes. (He is great in my beginner dressage lessons, but must have had flash backs to his younger days!) The cold weather created a lot of frisky horses which is never good for an intercollegiate show. SAPC ended up in 5th place, Virginia Intermont was the champion team.
Carla, Peggy & Dale headed up to Martin Community College for two weekend shows (Feb 7th & 8th). The judges were very thorough causing the Saturday show to go until 9:00 pm!
This weekend (Feb 14th & 15th) we are hosting a western show on Saturday and western regionals on Sunday. Lynn Palm is judging Sunday and them staying on to do a clinic that afternoon and Monday for SAPC riders.
I will be headed to Bristol, VA Saturday afternoon for an IDA show on Sunday. Then next week we have Showing Under the Stars on Friday and the IDA team travels to Averett on Saturday for our last regular show of the season.
Like I said Feb. is a crazy month. Happy Valentine’s Day!
