Congrats to these two! Kara Corpman and Tin!
Thank you Renee Peters Dressage for not laughing at me when I text on a Monday asking if I'm crazy to consider entering a show for Friday (at a level I've never done, after being gone for 9 days on vacation, and having just completed six weeks of ulcer treatment), just because they were taking late entries.
This weekend Tin and I tackled
Third level test 3 for the first time at the Mid-Ohio Dressage Association Classic (literally, Friday's test was our first full run through!). We handled a sprung shoe as we were getting ready to load Thursday (thank you Josh Knotts for coming out early Friday
AM to tack on a shoe four hours before our first test) plus insane heat and humidity, to earn a qualifying score for Region 2 Championships.
We have so much room for improvement but I'm beyond grateful for where I'm at and motivated to continue to get better.
It's crazy that a year ago we were doing our first 1st level freestyle and now we're halfway qualified for Regionals at 3rd
Lots of things
to work on for august!
