TAZ KIDS - 1st & 3rd @ TEXAS EVENT DERBY!
« on: November 15, 2009, 06:10:21 PM »
Harry Houdini continues his winning ways.  First after dressage, he had no time or jumping penalties in XC/Stadium and won the Beginner Novice Division of the Texas Event Derby on his dressage score of 32.5. 

Event Derbys are super for greenies (riders and horses) b/c  stadium and xc are combined in a single phase which seems to be less stressful for newbies.   Links below show the Event Derby format for stadium/xc:

Harry's part-TK sister Zigana (Tzigane out of a TB/Shire mare) finished 3rd in the same division.  Way to go kids, dad would be proud . . . especially as they're both 4yo's!

Ziggy - who was fierce today xc!  Talk about doing the most w/what you've got, and I LOVE seeing this expression on the face of an ammy-owner.

Great video. I am envious. Harry did a super job. The smile on Ziggy's owners face is what it is all about Grin

Thanks, Connie.  Harry's rider (Kristen Wertz) had a TK as her 1st  eventing horse - unfortunately, one of those that gave TK's a bad name.  She swore she'd never have another but her student Marta (Ziggy's breeder/owner/rider) told her about Harry.  Since Ziggy was pretty neat, Kristen called me, test-rode him and leased him the same day. 

Now she's an avid enthusiast of "modern Trakehners"  Cheesy  and equally important, she's well-networked with Area V eventers and she's won both outings this year on a Trakehner. 

One convert at a time, right?
