Another Dressage Canada Medal Coming to KRS

Monday, July 26, 2010

KRS Fancy That and Joan have achieved their first Dressage Canada medal.  The NNEP dressage show gave them their third and fourth test scores over 63% at Training Level.  The second test was closer to 73%.  Fancy was completely unfazed by the atmosphere and more preoccupied with being in season.  She exchanged phone numbers with a very cute Welsh pony stallion at the start of her warm-up for the second test but thankfully didn't insist on any close encounters.

Maximus and Anouk Desaulniers were the top amateurs at Second level with two wins and a second place.  They are having a very steady and successful season in their first Gold Level competitions.  Congratulations.

The New Immigrants Are Here

Wednesday, December 09, 2009

In August, we took a very quick trip to Germany and looked at 27 horses in 4 days.  The goal was to find one for JC and having picked out a first and second choice (in case one didn't vet), we flew home and waited for the results of the vet checks.  As it turned out, both passed so we had to have them both.  KRS DollyBird and KRS Fancy That have arrived safely and are settled into their routine in Canada.

Silver Provincial Reserve Champion/OADG Champions

Wednesday, December 09, 2009

The 2009 Amateur Second Level Reserve Champion is Anouk Desaulniers riding Maximus.  They had quite the season.  It went something like this: when they were good, they were very very good and when they were not, they were..............!  Anyway good riding, good fortune and the stars lining up made for a terrific end to the season.  Congratulations on your Provincial award as well as on winning the Amateur Champion trophy in the Ottawa area.

Kathleen Thomas riding Chopin is the 2009 Open Second Level Champion in Ottawa.  Congratulations.  Both Kathleen and Anouk were celebrated at the OADG banquet.   Now it's down to work over the winter as they set their sights even higher for 2010.
