And on into SUMMER!

WE definitely had a better spring and great start to summer. I got to judge at Carolina Regional Dressage and Show Jumping Rallies, which I always enjoy. I coached about 22 riders at Event Rally, partly because the popular Janna Rittaco was in New Zealand with the International Show Jumping Exchange!
We had been able to get out to several local hunter and jumper shows, which has been great fun. Lydia, Margo, McCall, Eileen and Mikayla have all done well and won some great ribbons.
Today, I was able to take the Princess to the TTC Jumper show, our first time jumping at a show in 14 months! We had two clean rounds and she was excellent. Her rehab from her suspensory has been good, knock on wood! I absolutely love this horse and am so glad to be able to do things with her.
I taught at the Carolina Regional Camp and had a GREAT time at The Ark in Monroe, NC. Mousie was afraid of the animals, but loves the people.
We had camp here this week and it was a blast. Thanks to Gail Waldman of Rivendell Vet for her demonstration on Parasite Control, we all learned a lot.
I have two trips to California for Pony Club ratings then camp here, then PC Champs at the Kentucky Horse Park, where I will coach the Event Teams. The next trip will be Seattle for an HB, followed by Aiken for a Show Jumping C3 and then an HB and HA in Dallas!
It's going to be fun.... right?!!
