CIA Open Spring Show..

Our Spring show was this past weekend. Laura and Heidi Benson brought many of their students from Northern California that made this show the biggest one we have had so far. We had 47 Horse and Rider combinations signed up and a lot of kids riding their horses, some were showing for the first time and some have been to many of our shows. Rune Svendsen came from Denmark to be our judge and Sara Sessa scribed for him on Saturday and Laurie Prestine and Colleen Monsef took turns to scribe for him on Sunday. Doug was our Icetest guru, Lindsay took care of the gate and Keith made sure we had good music going the whole weekend!
Thank you everyone who helped and came to support our event!

Quick trip to Iceland..

Driving east from Reykjavík

We managed to make a quick trip to Iceland this past weekand and catch up with family and friends. We were also able catch the last competition of this seasons MasterCompetition and the Icetölt. It was fun seeing so many great horses in the few days we were there. The weather was good and spring was in the air. It was great to hear the buzz about the World Championships this summer in Berlin and it is looking like it will be a great event.
