More good news!

This morning I was very excited to see another of my lovely young mares become a Beginner Champ!

Foxy just needed to step out of the shadow of Ruby and away she went!  I suspected that is what would happen when Ruby advanced, but it was nice to be proven right.  Now I will be giving them both some more advanced training so that they can compete in the intermediate shows.

Ruby also did quite well at her show, scoring two intermediate points.  She just loves to get out there and do her thing.  I am very impressed by her great attitude and willingness to do anything I ask.

I also had one of my old guys snag a major this morning, which was a huge surprise! 
Hart of Majesty managed to beat out four other competitors in the Expert Three Day Event early in the month.  At 24 years of age, this was a huge accomplishment.  I am hoping to get him his Grand Champion status before he goes to live with the Reaper, but it has been a struggle.  So getting a first was huge, but making it a 2 point major was even greater!  He sure has been a great gelding to have around the farm.  Now if he can just get those last 5 points.

  2. It sounds like Foxy is simply determined to be with Ruby lol. I expect she'll shoot there to be side-by-side with Ruby again. ;)

  3. As an update to this, I noticed during training today that Foxy was sadly lacking in some essential things. So I caught her up to my other two BCh's and I am cross training them all in trail also. Just gives them another option for showing and it is something I have been wanting to get into, hence trying to increase the brains in my herd. ;)
