Plantation Field Horse Trials


Today Jet finished his second qualifying run to compete at the CCI* in Ocala, FL in November.  He did a steady dressage test yesterday scoring a 36.6 and then jumped clean in the stadium.  Today he had great fun on cross country and jumped clean with 5.6 time faults.  At the end of the day he finished 4th with a score of 41.9.  There was a second place tie between Boyd Martin and Julia Steinberg with scores of 41.8.  The lesson there is go faster on cross country!  It was also a great show because Gina drove Mr. Wetherill down to watch both days so he got to watch Jet compete in all three phases.

In other news, Doc's breeder is visiting with us from Australia.  She came with me yesterday to watch him swim on the treadmill at Kendalwood Farm.  We are having a lot of fun and she is very pleased to see how happy Doc is.  She has just taken six ESB horses to England and is looking to promote her breeding program in this country.  Here is a picture of her with Doc before swimming!
