Chelan sent us this photo and I want to give a big Eventing Nation welcome to eventing for Aleyna, age 8, and Tuffy, who is 11 hands. Alayna is the younger sister of one of Chelan’s students and participated in her first ‘event’ last weekend. She did her dressage test from memory. She had a couple of ‘do overs’ in SJ, rocked the XC, and Chelan tells me she is officially hooked. Aleyna competed at the Golden Ears Pony Club schooling event in Maple Ridge, BC. Aleyna’s Mom Joanne said that Aleyna asked 30 plus times about the riding before she let her do it, just to make sure she really wanted to, which I think all eventing parents can relate to. Go pony eventing.
