Colleen and Shiraz were first to go Friday morning in the CIC***, and joked to Brian O’Connor that they would like some more water in their dressage arena; yes, there is some standing water, and the stabling area is a mess of mud, but I have seen, gasp, a glimpse of the sun, so everything is going to be alright. Shiraz actually did quite a nice test but for anticipating the canter depart and jogging in the walk, and then switching leads once across the diagonal but Colleen was disappointed with his test, as she explained, as is so often the case, the work in the warm-up was so much better than what he showed inside the ring.
