In the Ribbons

While I took some of our juniors to the USDF Youth Sport Horse Breeding Seminar at DG Bar Ranch, other Team Symphony members were busy showing. Riding Elvis, Corbin Hurtado scored a solid 63% on both rides in his Western Dressage classes at White Birch Farm.

A friend sent me a message in the evening telling me that Chris and Corbin were quite the professionals without me, and that Corbin is an up and coming Western Dressage star! Best thing to hear while I was trying to extract info from two men.

I am proud of all the girls' high point wins so far this season, but I'm especially proud of Cate and Griffin. They had a particularly tough start together. So many trainers told her that it would be better to sell Griffin and get something more suitable. Not that that's bad advice, but she believed in her horse and persevered. So while Griffin is 8 going on 3, under Cate's guidance, they scored a 73% at their 4th show this season. Not only was the score outstanding, but they walked away with the Jr./YR High Point score!

Team Symphony has certainly been busy this summer. Come and join us!
