It’s been hard to post with all that has been happening! Craig has been meaning to update the blog for sometime now, but life is busy!
A quick re-cap…Brew moved up to Intermediate at Southern Pines. He was a superstar and finished 2nd out of a tough field, only beat by a CCI**** horse headed to KY this spring! He jumped around the Intermediate at The Fork as well. He’s never seen anything that hard in his life and took a bit of extra time that kept him just out of the ribbons in 9th place.
Orion has returned to competition after stifle surgery last fall. He was 4th in the Intermediate at Southern Pines and was quite good in the Advanced at The Fork. He’s feeling fit and full of himself. He has made some significant mistakes in the dressage these past two events. After spending a couple days with Jules and Libby Anderson in VA, he and Craig seem to feeling pretty good about the new **** test.
The highlight of The Fork were Craig’s students Coren Morgan and Jalcyn Burke. They were super in the Intermediate and Preliminary respectively, each placing fourth. Both improved their cross country and show jumping performances tremendously from their previous outings. Congratulations!!
Brew is competing in the prelim this weekend at Fair Hill, along with several of Craig’s students, and then we are back to Jules briefly before making the drive to KY. We promise (again) to be better about updating this!
