Performance Matters!

Harry did his first Novice event yesterday and placed 2nd of 17 horses, eventually losing by 4 pts to the 2009 USEA Area V Training HOY (who had dropped down a division to prep for the season). Still, I was VERY proud of him as his focus got it's biggest test when - during his dressage test - a Prelim horse 50M away crashed into one of the stadium jumps and flipped over. Harry maintained his composure and finished his 20m canter circle, earning one of several "8's" on the test.
No pix from yesterday yet, but a small brag on Harry from the clinic he did with International eventers Clayton and Lucinda Fredericks (Lucinda won the '09 Rolex with Headley Brittania) the first weekend in February. I asked Kristen to find out if they'd be willing to give a quote for attribution we could use on Taz's websites here & in EU. The quote we got was WAY more than I expected, and to say we were thrilled is an understatement:
"This horse has great (xc) type, wonderful energy and is a powerful, scopey jumper. Superb 4 star potential"
- Clayton & Lucinda Fredericks
WOW! Attached are pix of Harry & the Fredericks.
