Summer Update

The summer has been great since we came back up from Florida,  Ms Mars young horses have been racking up the ribbons, most especially Landmark's Legendary Romance, winning her last three outings, Meadowbrook's Scarlett continues her training level domination, currently leading points in the nation, Czechmate had a dominating win in the preliminary at Seneca, Lucky Devil and Ron Reagan had their first run at Maryland HT since the CCI*, finishing 1st and 2nd respectively, and Vermiculus and Morton made the move to training level, also finishing 1st and 2nd.   I am hungry to be back at the upper levels but I am beyond excited about the talent I have in my barn right now.

We couldn't find pen and paper, so we got inventive....

At the farm we are all so excited for Karen and Mr. Medicott and really rooting for the team.  I'm sad for those that didn't make it, but what a great problem for the US to have, too many talented horses and riders to choose from.  As an eventing community let's make sure the rider's that did make it know how much we are rooting for them, the hard part about this sport is we have to rely on our small community for support because a good chunk of our nation doesn't even know our sport exists, so let's make sure we all cheer loud enough for everyone!  I think this country is well on it's way to becoming a dominating force again.

I will be off to Millbrook next with a big group and a couple will be stepping up a level which is always exciting.  Let's hope these regular rain storms continue and keep the footing good, we have certainly been blessed this summer, I have never known the footing in Virginia to be this good this time of the summer, fingers crossed!
