| I was in my first competition of the season on April 14th at Willow Ridge Farm!! It was a combined test, meaning an event w/o the xcountry :(. I placed 7th out of 20 riders, just barely missing a ribbon (don't you hate it when that happens??). I had a 60% on my dressage test and did bad on my jumping--I had a refusal and a knockdown!! At least I didn't get eliminated, like a lot of competitors. Kelly Smith placed 5th in her division, and Ryanne Oetman was probably about 10th. Good job guys!! |

| I am going to be leasing Shinto, a 17 hh Thoroughbred gelding, for the show season! My younger friend Elena Schruer will be leasing my pony, Sassy, for her Pony Club rally. I have unfortunately outgrown my Sassy and will have to sell her soon. But in the meantime I can ride Shinto. He is HUGE but also quiet and a sweetie!! I am aiming toward Beginner Novice Rider Of The Year, but I don't know how I'll do... Wish me luck! |

| Cosette will be leaving at the end of April, unless she is sold. There have been some inquiries on her but none have gone thru. Currently a young girl is looking at her to buy, so that could prolong her stay at Open Ridge. We all hope she stays at least another month!!
