Doc jumped double clean in stadium with no problem and then skipped around cross country with 3.2 time faults and no jumping faults. He finished 7th out of 24 in his preliminary division. More importantly, however, is the fact that our test run was a great success and his knee is stone cold today. I think Doc is officially back in action. He will run intermediate in two weeks and then Advanced at Southern Pines in March. It is almost time to bring the "R" word (Rolex) back into our vocabulary. If we run well at Southern Pines, we will make another bid for Rolex this year. Jet also jumped clean on cross country, but with a few more time faults he finished 14th overall.
We had a really fun weekend with a lot of people in town to visit us. The Wetherills came to see their horses run and my student Lynn Rzonca, who also rides at Ardfuar in Pennsylvania, came down for four days with her parents for a little mini-vacation. My mom and Holley also came to the show. Pictured here are the Wetherills, Holley (in the pink hat), me, Jet (the chestnut) and Doc (the bay).
