Lots of Eventing!

Kristin has had a busy past few weekends eventing. Here's an update:

Castle Jordan came back to intermediate with a wonderful run at Seneca. Then the next day I rode Cornerstone Striker and BM Gotteulan in a Jumper Show at Briarwood farm in NJ. Striker is really coming along and shows to be a super jumper with endless potential. Gottcha was great, it was good for us to get to know each other over some courses since I've only had him a few weeks.

The practice paid off: the following weekend was Bucks County HT where Gottcha won the novice on a 26.5...he was a super boy, brave and a blast to ride!

Then we were off to Surefire (click here for results) where Castle Jordan, (George), was great in the intermediate, finishing third. Gottcha was really good again too. It was the hardest course he has encountered and the most atmosphere at an event. He is a very promising young horse. Cavaldi (Joey) also got to come out for the weekend and did the dressage, where he actually behaved quite well considering it was his first time back out since Kentucky!

Now getting ready for our big trip to Montana! I'm very excited about competing at Rebecca Farm with Joey and George.
