The Fork CIC***

Well I have to say that this was a great learning experience and I think Cooper and I come out of The Fork's *** with a lot more knowledge. The dressage was windy and I miscalculated how much warmup I would need! He put in a good effort and was still 6th out of sixty some so I was pleased even though I know it wasnt our best. The XC was good and I thought quite challenging but Cooper handled it great. The last water I rode not well and lost my postition but Cooper was top notch and cantered through it like a champ. I am so lucky to have such a amazing horse. I went slow and was focused on putting a 0 on the board! I was in tenth going into showjumping and he jumped amazing. Putting up one of the few double clean rounds and moving into 3rd.

Cambalda had a great weekend as well ended up 6th out of 36th horses. He had a good dressage and received a 28 and blazed around the XC, I pulled a rail showjumping which was to bad but all in all a good weekend for this young horse.

I am also pleased to have the Wildasin family be apart of Coopers life as well as mine and thank them truly for there support.

BACK IN PA!

and now the planning for the big trip starts!
