This was a big weekend for Team Equisential. Royal Waltz did his first Grand Prix and won his class with a 64.7%. What a big milestone that was for him since he started training with me as a six year old and he is now eleven. He is such a prince, he put in a great effort and produced a really clean test. He rested on his laurels the remainder of the weekend, enjoying a nice hack on the other days of the show.

Final Show of the 2014 Summer Season
Last weekend we attended our final show of the summer season in Grass Lakes, MI. We got so lucky with the weather because earlier in the week the forcast was for rain but as the weekend progressed, we ended up with hot and humid, minus the rain.

Damon had a huge weekend. He needed Thursday and Friday to settle in and he showed Training Level 2 on Saturday for a 75% and Training 3 on Sunday for a 70%. We were able to warm up with all of the other horses and he marched right down to Ring 3 and was able to compete with confidence even though we had not had a chance to school him there. Just as importantly, he was able to hack back up to the barn through all of the traffic and confusion without being escorted by his bonus mom, Mary Anne. He finally relaxed enough to really show his beautiful gaits in the competition arena.What a great ending to a fun summer! We are headed back home to Florida around the beginning of October and we are looking forward to great Winter Season!
