Plantation Field Advanced

Shows

I just returned from Plantation Field’s where Acrobat completed his second advanced in 12th place.
It’s a huge learning curve back to the top of the sport. It’s not the same sport it was when I was at the top 12 years ago, but I am having fun relearning it, and I am confident that we will get it all together soon:)
Our next stop is advanced at Morven Park October 2-3.

My Man Jack was super @ The Ontario Championships held at Will O Wind Farms, host of The Pan Am Games.
We were 14th after dressage and moved up to 5th after an awesome xc and show jumping round in the Open Preliminary division.
Jack is now on a well deserved holiday with his buddy Kaesar.

Richland Advanced

Shows

It’s been about 12 years since I jumped blue numbers and it was an amazing feeling to cross through the finish flags on Acrobat jump penalty free in the advanced division at Richland!

It was his first advanced and he really stepped up to the plate on cross country day. There are still a lot of improvements to be had in dressage and show jumping but I am confident that will come with time. If it was easy, where would the challenge be?

I’m looking forward to going advanced with Acrobat again at Plantation Field’s mid September.

Next weekend My Man Jack will compete at the Ontario Preliminary Championships. The Championships will be held at The Pan American site so that will be quite fun!

Iain and I had a quick trip to Montreal last weekend to celebrate my step father’s 80th Birthday. It was nice to get out of boots and breeches and put on a dress.
