Friday, October 05, 2007

The 2007 Trillium dressage season is over and Chopin has shown, yet again, that he is a consistent performer for his owner, Kathleen Thomas.

They competed at first level and included a freestyle as well.   Their scores put them into second place in the Eastern Ontario division of the championships.  Chopin's freestyle continues to please judges and spectators alike and he has been in the top 3 throughout the year.  The show was held near Kingston at Dreamcatcher Farm and the site was well chosen.  The competition rings and warm-up area were adjacent to one another making it the perfect setting for any horses who might have been nervous at a new venue.
