Last weekend some of us went to the Brierbank Schooling Dressage Show. It's a great venue to bring young and inexperienced horses to. It's quiet and lots of space and time to school your horses. The judge is fair and gives great tips on what to work on with your horse.Trainer Sarah Sanders brought Desert Bred Arabians' stallion, DB Khrush (pictured left). Khrush has been to oodles of shows and competitions - hunter, dressage, endurance - and was a great model for the younger horses on how to be relaxed and in good form :). Sarah showed him in First Level and he made everything look so smooth and easy.
Our friend and boarder, Cathy (left), took her gelding, DB Abayan (Marzooq). Cathy and Marzooq have been developing wonderfully as a partnership. Their bond and mutual trust really grown and must have been reflected in their performance together, since Cathy and Marzooq came home with 1st Place in their class! Congratulations Cathy - we knew you could do it!

4 yr old DB Hula Mayya (left) and 3 yr old DB Sonnata joined the boys as well. For the girls, it was an adventure with all kinds of new experiences. First time in a stall overnight, or first time away from home, but they both took it in stride. Sonnata was very relaxed and bold, and she only had a dozen or so rides under saddle. Her owner showed her in Intro Test A, and it was a great growing up experience for her. Hula Mayya also was shown in Intro A, and was honored with a 2nd place finish and a score of 55. A very nice foundation to build upon! Congratulations to all!
