Sorry for going so long between posts! This computer is so slow that when I would get around to starting an update I was past my patience with already spending 30 minutes doing 2-3 e-mails! Of course now I have two months to catch up on! I'll try to remember what has happened, coffee hasn't taken effect yet!

Polar finished his spring season out at Jersey Fresh doing the CCI3*. Our dressage test was 12 points better than the previous year putting us in 7th after dressage!! I put him in a waterford for xc. It worked. Unfortunately I didn't give him a great ride into the double corners and had a runout at "a". I'm still mad at myself for that. Everywhere else Polar was great. He show jumped really well, just had one rail down. We finished in 12th. Overall I made my goal of doing better than last year. I just need to work on my riding so we don't have a runout again and can finish in the top 10.

Josie has been going well. She placed 4th in Prelim at Loudoun. I dropped her back to Training at Rubicon, where she placed 3rd, and Seneca, clear xc. I think she's getting sore from an injury she received at the track. I'm hoping that's not the case and I can move her back up to Prelim. She is the nicest horse I've had. Fingers crossed she'll hold up for the upper levels and I don't have to retire her 10 years sooner than planned. Right now I'm in a funk about it. I don't have the finances to go out and buy horses. To possibly lose a super nice one at an early age is very depressing.

TwoT's at Rubicon
T's is also going well. He has moved up to Training, having clear xc rounds at Loudoun and Seneca. He gets better every time out. With some more experience he'll be very competitive. Two of the greenies are going to their first event this weekend. Polar is back in work and is getting ready for the Intermediate at Maryland next month. I'm hoping I can afford some more lessons to get myself riding better and put in solid performances this fall. lol

The peepers frogs are out, horses are shedding like crazy, and I've been super busy. It must be spring! What a difference a few weeks make. We went from the worst winter ever to 90* days. This is shaping up to be an odd weather year. Won't hear me complaining about the warmer temps though!
 
I evented the past three weekends and they have all gone well.
 
Polar, Josie, and I went down to Southern Pines in March. The weather was gorgeous. Josie put in a lovely dressage test to score a 30 and in 3rd. We took a few jumps on xc to get into a rhythm. She then went really well until the corner towards to the end of the course. I thought we had a good canter and got to a good spot. She hit it pretty hard and I was popped out of the saddle. Hate those unplanned dismounts! So needless to say I wasn't feeling too confident before heading out with Polar. It was our first Advanced run of the year. I think I needed the fall though and I was a lot more patient and let the jumps come to us instead of getting nervous and pushing for them. Polar was great. Had a silly runout. We had a narrow, into space palisade, two long strides to a corner. He never focused on the corner. I wasn't bothered by it. We were spot on every where else. I was worried about stadium. They moved it to the grass and there was a lot more atmosphere than normal. We had to do two rollbacks right in front of a tent and the spectators. As Polar was spooky galloping on xc I wasn't sure how that would work. While we were in warm up they played music for the awards in the division that went first. Polar went crazy. He proceeded to charge the warm up jumps and take off after. Well that's just stellar. I thought for sure we'd go bowling. Polar settled in the ring and put in a clear round! Yay!! I was also happy with how I rode it. Amazing how the whole wait and be patient thing works out!
 
The next weekend was Morven. The first local event of the year. I was 90% sure I was going to withdraw as we still had snow on closing date. I decided to leave the entries in and boy was I glad I did! The footing was the best I've ever seen it. I took Josie Prelim and was determined to redeem ourselves (or myself). I discovered that she has a deceptively long stride. It makes it hard as when I feel she's on a short enough stride it's still too long! I have to convince myself that even though it feels too collected and short that is the canter I need with her. The day started out really chilly. The coldest I've been for dressage this year! The dressage ring was still crunchy. Once again scored a 30 to be in 3rd! Stadium was in the small ring. While Josie has gained so much strength it's still hard to maintain a good canter around tight turn after tight turn. Even though she had two rails she tried really hard. Last year she would of had more like 4 or 5. We had a great trip around the xc. I'm figuring out the ride she needs! Just 15 seconds over the time and I wasn't even trying for it. She ended up in 5th!! I also took Two T's for his first time out and hopefully his last Novice. With this winter I wasn't able to do as much schooling with him as I would have liked. But he is a bold horse so I wasn't too worried. He put in a nice dressage test. We were the last ones in the ring so he did get a little distracted. Jumped double clear stadium and an easy double clear on xc to finish 2nd!! What a good boy!
 
Last weekend it was just Polar and I for the trip to The Fork to run the CIC3*. A vacation for me! The weather was the best it's ever been. No rain and warm! First time I've been there when no one has had to be pulled in or out. While his dressage is improving our scores are not. It is getting frustrating. I watched a bit of the Advanced dressage. Watching makes me more confused. If I did the exact same canter as one person who received a 29 I would get nailed for not being collected enough. Then when I go in a collected canter they say we're not forward enough. Maybe one of these days I'll get it! But I'm happy with my boy. That's what really counts. Polar was fantastic on xc. Unfortunately had another silly runout. He spooked at a decoration coming out of the water and we ended up being parallel to the corner instead of perpendicular. Of course out of the 5 corners on course it was the easiest one! Every where else he felt great and was jumping really well. Stadium was huge. Amazing how the two additional inches for international height look massive! Polar jumped out of his skin and we had our first clear stadium at three-star! yippee!
 
While the xc results might not be perfect I'm really happy with how the season is going. We feel a lot more together jumping. While I'm still getting nervous (sure I always will) I'm more confident at this height and willing to wait. With only one upper level horse who is learning along with me it's taking us a little bit longer. Polar has put up with my mistakes and my riding is catching up to his talent! I'm excited about the future! One year I might feel like going out and being competitive. At the moment I'm not concerned about going out and trying to make time. Horses are competing at the highest levels into their late teens now. My personal opinion is if you start out at the top you only have one place to go. Polar will be 11 this summer. If I'm lucky I still have years left with him.  Well, competing that is. He'll always have a home with me. After all he is my baby! It may be easier for me than some others. I can always put my horses first and don't need to worry about running them off their feet to make time, place, and make an owner happy. If I get to the point of having owners I hope they have the same mind set that I do. Put the horse before the ribbon!
 
I have this weekend off then I'll be going pretty much every weekend until mid-November. Now that the weather has improved I'm able to get the babies going. Can't wait to start eventing on the rest! I will also try to be better about updating. Easier to write a page than a book! lol

Polar, Josie, and I finally escaped to Aiken for a week! Took until North Carolina before I saw ground. It was the warmest day of the winter when I arrived. 70 and sunny! It was soooo nice. I felt the bones thawing out. I was able to get a xc lesson on both of them with Stephen. Polar was very happy to be going xc and Stephen gave me some good pointers with Josie.
 
We then headed over to Georgia for Pine Top. Polar in Intermediate and Josie in Prelim. Polar put in a good dressage test for his first time out. Only exploded once! He walked and didn't do any flying changes. Thought his score was a little higher than I expected. Then again that seems to be what I always say. I hadn't show jumped outside in over a month. We were a little rusty but Polar jumped well. One rail down when I came back a little too soon over the triple bar. Josie also put in a good dressage test. She has improved a ton over the winter. While she still has a ways to go I was happy with her performance. She also had a rail down in stadium. Kind of forgot to pick up her feet at the second jump. After that she wasn't about to touch another rail!
 
The next day was beautiful. At first Polar was first to go xc. Due to lighting issues they switched the order around and Prelim went first. I was planning knocking my cobwebs off with Polar not Josie! The courses at Pine Top are big. There were also a few questions that Josie hadn't seen before. I wasn't sure what to expect. This time last year she was still a Novice horse. I had many xc schools before she was Prelim. I didn't have anything to worry about and she was the best she has ever gone. I was smiling around the course. It was so much fun! It actually helped as I wasn't as nervous then with Polar. He was also super. Exploded out of the box and was off running. He was a little wild as to be expected. That was one happy horse!
 
Needless to say I wasn't able to do as much fitness work before the event. The courses at Pine Top are long. 6:20 something for both courses. I kept them under wraps and went slow. I was using this event to school and wasn't planning on being competitive. They were both fitter than I thought and recovered quickly. I was glad to see that I was able to do enough that they were prepared. Josie improved a lot with what I was able to do. Polar is back to his normal self on xc. We didn't have a great fall season. It was great fun on both of them. Can't wait to get on with the rest of the season. Hopefully enough snow will melt and I can gallop at least once before Southern Pines! Or at least do something besides trotting on the road. I don't think that is too much to ask?

Well crap! I know what a way to start out an update. But from what I've really been saying it's toned down! Here I thought the snow storm in December was bad. Boy was I wrong. Last Friday and Saturday we had a huge snow storm and got at least 30". As no one could get in I've been by myself with the horses. I'm actually happy I'm down to nine horses, seven in stalls, for a few weeks. I worked 12 hours straight Sat and Sun doing the barn and then shoveling. Today felt easy as most of the shoveling was done. Peter has spent the past few days plowing the driveway out. Well, just the top half. Not like any of us would be trying to go out the bottom for awhile! He's been great clearing out the part I need to drive the rig and clearing around the rig so I can pull out. Which may have been for not.
 
Of course I was supposed to be leaving this morning for Aiken. I had planned on doing the clinic with Clayton and Lucinda Fredericks Tues-Thurs with Polar and Josie. Then heading over to compete both at Pine Top. If I could get to Rt 7 I'd be fine. It's just getting there. The road isn't good enough to try and get the trailer out. I'm keeping my fingers crossed I can get out in the morning. They are calling for another 10-20" starting Tues at noon into Wed. If I don't get out tomorrow I'm for sure missing the clinic and possibly Pine Top as well.
 
Ugh, I soooo hate winter. I can't wait for July! That is probably when all this snow will be gone. Can I just throw a ton of hay out in the fields and hibernate until Spring? That might be the only way I can survive!

Katie

First day of winter and we've been digging out from two feet of snow the past few days! Just another reminder of why I can't wait until I can flee to the south for winter!







(Indy tries a new look with a bigger star!)

Maybe next year.. Guess the only good thing is the horses and I are still getting plenty fit trudging around in this stuff. And I get to sleep in a little bit, until 5:30 whoohooo! When I've retired from the horses I'm moving some place where I never have to be cold or see snow again!

Past two weekends have gone fairly well. The grey boys and I headed down to Five Points in Southern Pines, NC. Polar had been a bit on the obnoxious side since Millbrook. He knew that runout wasn't good! I wasn't expecting much in dressage, especially since I had to learn a new test right before I got on! Hate not having a printed omnibus. I wasn't the only one who had that problem. We always do test A but this time it was test B! Polar was good enough to score a 38 putting him in the middle of the pack.
 
The cross country course was completely changed around. Which I was very happy to see as I didn't want to run the same course a third time. Polar was back to his normal self and was fantastic! We also went the fastest we have gone at Advanced and only got 10 time penalties! Now to get it into the single digits! He came back the next day and show jumped really well. I didn't ride 1 to 2 great which resulted in a rail. I got my act together after that and the rest of the course was great. Polar finished in 10th.
 
Irish went for his second Intermediate. I'm still working on getting his connection better. His previous rider jumped him in a stronger bit and he's become a little backed off the bit. He did put in a better dressage test than Loudoun and scored 3 points lower. It's getting there! He was great on cross country. It was a big course and he handled it really well. The lack of a solid connection did catch us out on a really wide skinny in a combination. He came back and jumped it well the next time. Once I get the connection better that problem will be solved. He once again show jumped fantastic. Putting in only one of four clear rounds!!
 
I took Atty to Marlborough yesterday. He once again won the dressage, this time with a 29, two points better than 2nd! Had a much improved stadium than Seneca. His canter needs to become more engaged and then he'll be going clear. I tried a stronger bit on xc, same as that he has been run it. I found it was way to much bit and I didn't have anything in my hand. I was trying to go on as loose a rein as possible as he was backing off the bit. Part of the course was in the woods and really slick. Around a tighter turn Atty had an unfortunate slip. We were pretty close to the jump and by the time he got his feet back under him he didn't have the power for the size of the fence. He was smart not to go. Annoying to have the stop but I know it wasn't his fault and it was one of those fluke things that happen. Once we get the jumping all together he'll be winning!
 
Have a busy weekend coming up with four going to Middleburg. It starts the run of the "m" events, Middleburg, Morven, Maryland!

The past three weekends of eventing have gone really well! Hopefully this is a sign of how the fall season will go!
 
I took Two T's to Difficult Run for his last BN run. He was super. Stadium was in the indoor. Which for those who know, the indoor at Frying Pan is a bit scary! It was his first time ever in an indoor. I had no idea how it would go. He could have cared less and was clear! He was also easily clear on xc, proving he was ready to move up. He finished on his dressage score of 32 and placed 3rd!
 
The following weekend was Loudoun. I think it's the only time I've been there that the footing has been really good. They air rated, first time I've seen them do that!, and we had some rain. I took Irish for his move up to Intermediate, Indy in Training, and T's for his first Novice.
 


Two T's

I remembered my lunge line this time! It did really help Irish in dressage. Now I just need to give myself more time on him. The trot work was really nice, canter had good moments and not so good moments. Judges comment was "nice horse, with a consistent test could be super". Yay! With the terrain the rails in stadium were flying. Irish was listening much better schooling, but I didn't know if it would cross over at competition just yet. This was a course if he blew through my half-halts we could easily go bowling! Let me tell you, he was fantastic!!! Listened very well and was jumping out of his skin! He put in only one of five clear rounds, out of 18!!! As this was his first Intermediate I was thrilled! I had to call Sarah and leave her a message on the way back to the trailer! He was great on cross country. Did have a runout early on at a tricky combination. We just missed the line. Getting back to it was hard and he was very good to jump through the second time. I was also impressed with his speed. He's not the fastest and with the runout only 62 secs over time! Waaaay better than I thought he would be! It was a great first time at the level for him and he will only get better!
 
Indy put in an improved performance. He's not the easiest to jump and is slowly starting to get it. I wish I could afford to take him out more this year, but Loudoun will likely be his last event this year. I know what to work on for next year and he'll be ready to start winning!
 
T's was great in his move up. The most relaxed in dressage he's been. I had to for go warm up for stadium. It was similar to a point-to-point and I thought it was best to walk around and keep him calm. I knew once we were in the ring he'd be fine. I was right and he jumped really well, just barely tapping one to have a rail. He was really fun on cross country. Taking everything in stride and loving it! He might be ready for Training towards the end of the season.
 
This past weekend was Seneca. I took Josie and Atticus Prelim. Josie was good as usual. On average her jumping has really improved. She got a bit strong into a combination on xc and jumped a awkwardly. I pulled her out and came back to b on it's own. She had no idea she had a runout! This will also likely be her last of the season. I've done enough to know she is worth holding onto to her keeper status! I'll be working on making her stronger and more supple. I'm excited to see what next year will bring!
 
With Atty I had no idea what to expect. He hadn't been out since May and it was our first event together. It was also my first time taking a horse Prelim without bringing them up the levels or at least doing two Trainings first! We got two of the three phases! I felt I overshot the dressage warm up. I would have been better off with a shorter one as he started to get a little tense. Went I went around the ring he started to get short in the neck and too up. I cantered around and he quickly settled. I was happy with the test but wasn't sure how it would score. His division was very competitive. I was shocked when I saw his score. He won the dressage with a 28!!! It was his low score by about 7 points! Sarah, his owner, was thrilled when I called her! Stadium was the phase we didn't get. We'll just chalk that up to new partnership. He is a great jumper and once I smooth out the wrinkles he'll be going clear. Now that I know how is in the ring it's an easy fix! Atty was fantastic on xc. One of the most fun rounds I've had since The Fork! He was stronger in competition than schooling so we did get some time. I'll put a slightly stronger bit on next time and he'll be double clear! I feel lucky to have the ride on him. He is really cool!
 

Atticus
I'm eventing every weekend from now until probably mid-November. I'll try to update more often!

It was a hot weekend at Waredaca. I was tempted to take a detour through the pond on cross country! I took Josie and Irish Prelim and they were great!
 
Josie put in as good of a dresage test as she can at this point, scoring a 35. She had a great stadium round. Was the most ridable she's been. While she did have three rails I'm not worried. It's a strength thing and the other jumps she jumped great! Cross country was fun. Did have one really sticky fence. While I of course prefer to not have a fence like that she did learn from it. With she had rails and with the heat and hard ground I went slow. I'm really excited about her future. She should be very competitive next year!

 

It was great fun to have Irish back! He was sitting around for 3 weeks and I only had him back a week. We had to quickly get to reknow each other! Sarah said he is much better if lunged before dressage. I remembered all the lunging equipment except the lunge line! He was a bit tense for dressage. His test scored a 40. I'll won't forget the lunge line next time! Irish was very forward for stadium and wasn't really listening to my half-halts! Not how he was last year! Had an unfortunate rail. His previous rider had him in a stronger bit and I found out did ride him really forward and almost rushing in stadium. So we have work to do! I left him in the snaffle and was a little worried if I would have control on xc. He was super and I had plenty of bit! Fingers crossed he will move up next time out!

8/11/09

Summer is finally here. It's been hot and humid this week. Fortunately everybody has been good so the rides have been short and sweet! Huge change from last weekend at Millbrook. I even had to drag out a dress sheet for Polar to wear at night! It was wonderfully cool and not buggy!
 
The event was ok. Surprisingly dressage was our best phase. I experimented with the warm up and I think I have a plan for the rest of the fall. Polar's trot work was the best that he's done in a test. A few tweaks and I'll have the canter work improved as well. We were only 6 points behind first. A big accomplishment for who was in the Advanced! Jumping didn't go so well. It's the first time he's had the summer off. In hindsight I should have run an Intermediate to start back out. The Advanced was big enough I had to make sure his power was up but not technical enough to make him listen. So we had a cheap runout early on. Then he started to listen and was his normal self. Polar was still a bit too much in xc mode for stadium and had two rails. Not in his usually form! Well, we got that one out of the way and the rest of the season will be good! Crazy pony =)
 
Now for the exciting news. Irish is back!! When Kim moved to Arizona she took Irish with her. It didn't go as well as hoped and Kim made the tough decision to sell him. He was bought by Sarah Hughes as another competition horse for her rider. He continued to be very successful at Prelim. When Sarah decided to find a new rider Kim put her in touch with me. I now have Irish back along with Atticus. Atty is an eight year old TB gelding who is eventing at Prelim. I'm super excited and grateful for this opportunity!! I'd like to extend a huge welcome to Sarah and thank you for joining the team! I'm looking forward to this partnership and the boys' future!

This has been an unseasonably cool summer. While it has made riding and competing nicer it is making me nervous on what winter is going to be like!
 
Past two weekends I went up to Loch Moy for the Maryland Horse Trials. First weekend I had Abbey in her first Novice, Indy and Manny in Training, and Two T's going BN.
 
Abbey was really good for her move up. She is still getting fit from her broodmare time and isn't ready to be competitive in dressge. She had a nice clear stadium round. Even though she has done very little she thinks she knows what she is doing and was blowing me off a bit on xc. Had a runout as a result. After that the light bulb went on and she listened to my half halts! She was great with the trakehner, 1/2 coffin, and both waters!
 
As I didn't do much with Indy last year he is now going through the obnoxious phase. I call it the "I don't want to grow up!" He was his normal self in stadium, jumping double clear. A bit cheeky on xc. He did jump the hard stuff really well and was sooo good with both waters, which he has been sticky with in the past. I know once he gets over himself he is going to be awesome! Silver lining is I didn't think he was quirky enough before to make it to the upper levels. Now I do!
 
Manny had improved parts. He is still a work in progress. I feel that he really needs a year to get it. Then he is going to be super.

Two T's

T's was the best of the weekend. Go figure, the ex-steeplechaser! He scored a 31 in dressage and still didn't do his best. He's not convinced he can go close to the little while fence! He put in a good stadium round, just had two cheap rails. He was a blast on xc! He likes being an event horse! He used to live next door to me so I know what he was like while in race training. It really is amazing to see the transformation when they have a job they like. So many people think race horses are crazy and won't touch them when they come off the track. Let me tell you when they come off they become a new horse!
 
Second weekend I had Flyer and Val in Training and Josie in Prelim.
 
For some reason I left the flash on Flyer for dresage. Not sure where my brain was at that moment! So, he was a bit fussy in the test. He had a great stadium round, just barely touching the skinny. Flyer went through his growing up phase last fall. He is over it and has been great this year! He was so much fun to ride on xc! Taking everything in stride and making my job easy!
 
Val put in one of the better dressage tests I've had with him. They hung banners on the fence around the stadium ring. He found those scary! He jumped really well, only having an awkward jump at the last fence where he was paying more attention to the banners! He was really good on xc, until we came to the second water. It was a fairly big bank in. Up until that point all the waters in competition have been run through. He is sticky with banks into water. He wasn't sure he wanted to go in. I was proud that he eventually did. It was a fun ride though, which is the main goal with him!
 
Josie put in a pretty good dressage test to be tied for 6th. Stadium was, well, interesting. She sees a jump and goes for it. Doesn't rush but opens up her stride. When I have enough time to shorten her she is fine. But any related lines get really short! She is so light mouthed I can't take much of a feel in between. She is slowly improving and is really jumping much better. Hopefully I'll be able to afford some lessons to speed up the process! She was super on xc. Unfortunatly a straightness issue at the second water resulted in a technical elimination. Annoying to have missed going clear by a foot, but it's one of those instances it's best to laugh off. When she locks onto a jump she is going. Wether it's the correct one or not! If I can get her eye on the right part then we are good!
 
On a side note I'm finally getting a L'Apogee dressage saddle. Not sure how I'm going to pay for it, but I'm getting it! My current saddle simply isn't doing the job. I've been having a hard time getting everyone to truly come over the back and establish a true connection. I feel that is what has been missing for me to be competitive. I won't have my new saddle until September. In the meantime Petra is letting me use her dressage saddle. It's letting me get a jump start on improving both the horses and myself! Hopefully I'll start to see better results this fall!
 
I have the next two weekends off from competing. Then Polar and I head up to Millbrook. Vacation time! Only one horse to ride a day and I get to sleep in! Whoohoo

Happy Fourth of July! Actually have this weekend off from competing. So, it's just like a normal week day. Except that I have to do the barn all by myself as Regina has the weekend off!
 
Surefire was last weekend. The first time it hasn't been 100 degrees! The weather was great, which we were all very appreciative off!
 
Absolute Rocks, aka Abbey, went to her first event and was great! She is still developing a top line and isn't able to put in the dressage test that she will be capable of. She still did the best she can at this point and that's all we can ask for! She loves to jump and put in a clear stadium round. A silly green runout towards the end of xc where she was tired and we missed the spot (still kicking myself for that one) marred an other wise perfect round! This is one seriously nice mare with a great future ahead of her!
 
Abbey at Surefire
Absolute Rocks
Had four horses going on Sunday. Wasn't nearly as hectic as I thought it might have been. They did a great job with scheduling. Josie moved up to Prelim! She was 5th after dressage on a 36 and she isn't any where close to what she is going to be able to do. How exciting is that? The stadium course was one of the hardest I've ridden. While she had two rails it was one of the better rounds. She tried her best to leave them up. Which she doesn't always do so I was very happy! Her xc was super! Being her first Prelim and she is still young I was going for a clear and confident round. I circled before the corners instead of riding it in a line with the jump previous. Ate up a lot of time. She has yet to stop and I didn't want to risk her having an ugly fence and scaring herself. After she gets more experience I will go out to be competitive!
 
Josie at Surefire
Josie at Surefire
The other three went training. Flyer was super, one rail in stadium and double clear xc! He's getting to the point of looking for the next jump and locking in. Such a great feeling! Indy jumped brilliantly. It was all I could do to not get jumped out of the tack! While he was a bit cheeky at a few things his confidence is building. As for Manny, well he is slowly getting there. At times his ridablity is so much better and he is awesome. Now I need to get work on making it consistent.
 
Off to Maryland the next two weekends. The fun begins (or really kicks up a few notches) next month as Polar will be back in action!

Another easy competing weekend. I took Two T's in BN at the Maryland Schooling at Loch Moy. It was his first event and he was super! He was much more relaxed and settle that at the combined test. I believe he likes his new job! He won the dressage with a 29! He was great both stadium and cross country. Should have won but the jump judge at the first water called his brief hesitation a refusal. It wasn't, but as it was a schooling event I was going to bother with trying to protest. We all know he was awesome and that is what counts! T's is another fun horse that is for sale. I was hoping to get some updated pictures, but the rain had other plans.
 
I also found out that Beware of the Bop, a filly I backed last year, has been cleaning up at the track. So far she has won a Maiden, three Allowance, and a Stakes race! Whoohoo! Hopefully I will be able to make it to one of her races. It would be neat to see her run!
