The Fork Update

Just a quick update!  On dressage day I had two nutty horses.  Neither one of them has been to an overnight show in several months.  In his test, Doc scored a one and a nine and EVERYTHING in between.  I think it is one to frame!  Jet's test was more consistent than Doc's, but he still enjoyed spooking at a muck tub at one end of the ring.  

Today was cross country.  Both horses were awesome.  They  loved being out there.  The course was big and encouraged galloping.  There were three water jumps on Doc's course and he jumped them with confidence.  The Fork also holds what they call Heritage Days the same weekend that they run this show.  Heritage Days is a community weekend that encourages the enjoyment of the outdoors.  The weather was beautiful today so there was a nice sized crowd.

It is a fun show this weekend because it is a big prep for the spring three days.  Everyone seems to be here this weekend.  Tomorrow we will see how sound Doc is.  Things are starting to look more positive for Rolex.  We'll see if we can keep him patched together!  My fingers are crossed!
