Weekend Winners: Full Moon Farm, Majestic Oaks, River Glen, Texas Rose, WHES

Fall eventing may be my favorite time of the year, so I always enjoy having a look at everyone’s scores and social media posts on Monday mornings.

This weekend’s Unofficial Low Score Award comes to us from the final War Horse Event Series leg of the season, where Cassandra Wallskog and Quentus 3 cleaned up their Training division on a score of 18.1. This is a personal best for this pair, who previously finished on a 29.9 for their first personal best together at the Novice level earlier this year. Congratulations!

Perspective: It's always better than you think it really is. Good, honest people will tell you and keep you moving forward. After what I thought was an awful Dressage test and ready to throw in the towel for the day, Ginger didn't let me wallow, and talked me off the ledge. And boy am I glad she did!! Smoke and I finished our season in a big Training division with an 8th place finish, a better-than-our-average Dressage score, and a fantastic XC run, 8 seconds under time. Smoke was next level today and she truly felt like perfection galloping around. Thank you Dan for all your help and for videoing! Ginger was right, this sport DOES take a team. 🥰 Today worked out to be perfect!

Low quality photo of a high quality spotted pony. We had an absolute blast this weekend at the #warhorseeventseries ! Both Zammy and mouse decided to make it clear how happy they are to not be at an all dressage show (us too)! With amazing weather, a fun atmosphere and great courses Zammy ended 2nd and Mouse ended up 7th out of 34 other riders!! (Mind you this is only her 3rd event ever!) And after 15 years of eventing I did something I’ve never done before…I walked away with $600 which will promptly be used to buy Zammy all the twizzlers he wants. He truly owes me nothing and I’m just thrilled he’s so happy and enjoying eventing still. Huge shout out to @a91paris for being the worlds best PIC – and coming to the dark side. Can we just not do dressage shows ever again? 😁😁
