The talented young horse HS Wroosevelt (by HS Wistar out of DG Bar KWPN Mare) had a solid go today at Devonwood's first day of competition scoring a 7.76% in the USEF young horse class for 4 year olds. This is his second score towards the Markel/USEF Young Horse National Championship qualification process and only the second horse show in his young career to date. Currently the top 15 nationally make it to the final and all so far are in the 8.0 and higher range with about 66 horses attempting to qualify.</div>

Hello fellow horse lovers! I am finally back to my posting on the blog. It has only been a year and a half:) Surely my longest abstinence to date. So much has changed and new beginnings are ahead. Upon my return from Vechta, Germany, Alex and I decided that it would be a great time to start a family. 9 months later our little baby girl London Alexis was born weighing 8 lbs 11 oz and was healthy and sweet as can be. <div>
<br /></div>
<div>
She is now nearly 9 months old and we are enjoying every moment and realizing how fast it really does fly by. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I am back to competing my own horses and the sales horses that I have on consignment are better than ever. Be sure to check out our latest selection on the website. We have over 30 horses to choose from in all price ranges and training levels. </div>
<div>

</div>Well I am now home from an incredible experience training abroad. I may be forever changed. I have already started thinking of how I will make it back. The trip home took about five days. I left on Tuesday the 14th at 4:30 in the afternoon on a truck with that transporting company Guido Klatte. We drove from Catherine's stable in Vechta about an hour away to the holding facility and unloaded the horses. I had four horses coming home with me. Wistar and three horses that clients had purchased and were shipping back with me to Summervale. I went to sleep at about 6 pm and was up again at 12:30 am to help load and make the 5 hour drive to the Amsterdam airport. We arrived to the airport by 6:00 am and I was scheduled to fly back as a groom for the flight and proceeded to help load the 20 horses that were scheduled to fly from Amsterdam to LAX later that morning.<br />
<br />
There were 7 pallets to be loaded onto the plane, the maximum amount aloud. Once each pallet was loaded then the horses were to just patiently wait until it was time to be driven out onto the tarmac and loaded onto the plane. They stood about 2-3 hours while paper work was filled out and to allow time in case there were any problems that should arise. Once the horses were ready to load onto the plane then the grooms were sent to check in as regular passengers and go through security, then load onto the plane. Once on the plane we were seated in the back row and were able to go back and look after the horses. The door into the cargo area always remained locked and the KLM attendant would have to come back with the grooms to check in on the horses as needed. Again I was able to stand with the horses during take off and landing which was greatly appreciated as it is rather an exciting time. The horses all handled it beautifully. We arrived into LAX after the 11 hour flight and I was not able to see them again from Wed at 1:00 pm as they went into quarantine until Friday morning at 10:00 am when they were released and I was able to make the 2 day drive home to our farm in Roy, WA. Here is a picture of the horses coming off the pallet and being checked just before entering quarantine at Jet Pets.<br />

I pulled into Summervale Farm at 9:00 pm on Saturday the 18th. I was so relieved to make it through the three Mt. passes that were calling for heavy snow fall. Yikes! Everything worked out wonderfully and I am extremely motivated to implement all that I have learned towards the riding, management, and the many different aspects of running a good business. Catherine Haddad was an excellent choice. She and her staff made my trip very informative and it was a trip of a life time. I am very grateful for all of the wonderful people that I met during my stay and the incredible horses that I was able to watch in their work and had the opportunity to ride. I took so may tools home with me that will improve all of my horses not just Wistar, although he made some great progress as well. I am truly inspired.<br />
<br />
A special thank you to The Dressage Foundation for this special award, it was truly an incredible experience, my husband Alex for being so supportive in helping me reach my dreams, Charlene Summers for breeding such an incredible horse and allowing me to carry on a partnership with him for the last 11 years, Catherine Haddad for welcoming me into your stable and being so giving of your knowledge, Paula Helm for all of your guidance, and to all of my sponsors, friends, and family that have been so supportive and encouraging through this journey. Many thanks!<br />

This was a wonderful event to experience. The presentation of horses was skillfully run and the bidding was exciting for all. In the end, PSI brought in over 12 million Euro and sold horses to many of the top countries of equestrian sport.<br />
<br />
My very good friend Paula Helm came to visit me during my last week in Germany. We attended the Sat show case presentation of the auction horses Dec 12th and then the live auction the following day. It was truly amazing the prices these animals went for. The least expensive horse was bought for $75,000 Euro and the most expensive was a jumper mare for $800,000 Euro. We had a blast watching but were very careful to keep our hands low and not make any sudden movements that might be mistaken for a bid.jennifer and wistarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11064165324773566153noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1485028736667697604.post-23616008652469262542010-11-22T12:23:00.000-08:002010-11-23T10:10:00.354-08:00CDI at Stuttgart 2010<div style="font-weight: bold;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />

I had the fortunate experience of attending the Stuttgart horse show as a spectator and it was amazing! The show is run and organized to the second and that schedule was posted two weeks in advance. There was an incredible "Vegas style" show Friday evening with the famous Lorenzo "The Flying Frenchman". I took a very short clip on my camera and am posting it here but it did not do him justice. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x4dD-koPnM0">Short clip of Lorenzo at Stuttgart!</a></span></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><br />

Upon arrival, a shuttle service provided by the show came and picked up myself and Nick Fyffe, from Australia, who has been working for Catherine the last couple of months. Also in the shuttle was Madeleine Winter-Shulze, sponsor of Isabelle Werth. We drove to the KongressHotel Europe and it was the host hotel for all of the riders. It was so great to see all of the riders, I felt like I was in Hollywood. Edward Gal, Isabelle Werth, Ulla Salsgeber, and Hubertus Schmidt would all be the next table over at breakfast. Catherine had given me a special pass so that I was able to go back into the stabling and into the warm up areas. It was very interesting watching everyone warm their horses up the morning before the test. It was very educational. Thank you Catherine!</span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />

At this particular CDI 5 star they hold a Grand Prix for those going into the Freestyle and then a Grand Prix for those competing in the Special. There were twelve invited to partake in the Grand Prix for Freestyle held on Friday morning. The results are listed below. Catherine had a really nice solid test and finished 4th.

I went to the town of Selden to see some of Irene's(HW Farm)young stock she has coming up. As you may have seen on the Summervale site Irene and Summervale have been working together to sell some of her fantastic imports from Germany. This was a real treat to get to see some of the next horses that will be coming over. Tanja the owner and trainer of the farm was so wonderful in showing me around. We went to a couple of fields that were close by that were housing some of the up and coming 2 year old colts and fillies. The barn itself at Tanja's held about 20 horses. Most were coming 3 year olds and of course all of the current riding horses. I met Walk on Top and Statesman HW two of the horses listed on Irene's site and they were just as lovely in person. There were also 5 lovely little coming yearlings that were going to be put out to pasture in the next coming week or so to grow up for a while. Very nice!<br />
<br />
Had a great training week. Wistar is settling into his new German lifestyle. Love him and his forever accepting attitude. What a temperament this horse has. Always accommodating and just does his best. What more can you ask for?<br />
<br />
On a side note I am getting many calls on potential clients looking for horses for sale ranging from talented young horses to top of the line FEI horses. If you have a quality horse for sale please don't hesitate to contact me. Also I will be accepting horses in for consignment January 1st.<br />

It is my 13th day here in Germany and I am having a great time. I have learned my way around the autobahn and what 160 kilometers an hour feels like(that was just keeping with the flow of traffic). I also put 10 gallons of gas into the car and paid an amazing $85.... for just 10 gallons. Yikes. I walk every morning from Catherine's house about a mile to the barn. It is very beautiful with all of the trees changing for fall and creating a lovely landscape. Catherine and I and her Uber cute dog Gizzy all go for a 45 minute walk around the forest on our way back to the house in the afternoon. This is great since I am now riding 2 to 3 horses a day down from my normal 8 to 10. Definitely love the exercise.<br />
<br />
Wistar is doing great. I am learning some super new tools and Catherine and her staff have been lovely. It is a great operation and I am learning so much everyday. I will get some new video posted soon.<br />

I have a small little flip video camera that was super easy to pull out and shoot. (Thanks Alex!) It is a bit shaky during take off...dont worry it wasn't nearly as bad as it looks from my video skills. The horses were unsure for about 2 minutes and then all was calm again. Enjoy! Will post again soon! If link doesn't work please copy and paste into your browser.<br />

I am currently in Vechta, Germany on a training grant that I received from the Dressage Foundation this past January. On Wed October 20th my good friend Johnna Stevens and I drove the 24 hour drive down to LAX where Wistar was to fly out on that Friday. We made great time getting up at 3 am on Wed, arriving in Red Bluff Wed about 4:30 and resting for the evening. The next day we were up again at 2 am for the 12 hour second day drive to LAX where the company, Jet Pets, is located. They were coordinating my 10 hour flight to Amsterdam and then on to Vechta, Germany where another 5 hour transport by truck awaited. <br /><br /><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMsaM7cofr6z7tQaCSv4d9XmGQQ_uMGXNYy8MVLeknQ-d62HF2WBpEqAi1D3Hvy9_ECDfVsxFPhDoD2nJEFT_xD0OUCLCwbxRPasPwu03Jtfs5KQ3F8hM4GEaGuxGThUmpWseAILo2VTI/s200/Germany+118.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5532430364161270834"><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRXt8TZAqeSZ0sDTqb82l7hbyTPWzutRmCiCEYGkQLqb_O16H5KZVousjozIU9lqS8DWxvn8oqxM_YV96B-j49XrMz35AbsAsL6eeWauF2uyrr86DAO_1c6ErzIACMXELZCNZbiGkn69A/s1600/037.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 133px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRXt8TZAqeSZ0sDTqb82l7hbyTPWzutRmCiCEYGkQLqb_O16H5KZVousjozIU9lqS8DWxvn8oqxM_YV96B-j49XrMz35AbsAsL6eeWauF2uyrr86DAO_1c6ErzIACMXELZCNZbiGkn69A/s200/037.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5532438075528305634"></a><br /><br />Wistar traveled like the trooper that he is and was bright eyed upon arrival into Catherine Haddad's stable Sat evening the 23rd around 7:00pm. The barn is lovely. The footing and indoor incredible. It has been very informative to watch Catherine work her horses and as of today I received my second lesson. Sunday was a day for some light stretching and yesterday Monday we began with work to lighten the aids for the more cadenced trot and the changes. It was evident that tension was creeping in during the one tempi's and we worked to be able to change the neck before and after the series. This morning Tue we worked together at 6:30 am before Catherine was to depart for a CDI in Lyon, France on her darling horse Winyamaro. Today she had a look at my Piaffe/Passage and we are going to work to get the connection more honest in those movements. I must try to get Wistar to stay up more from the withers and to stay light in the contact without me micro managing so much in the hand. To constantly push the hand forward and see that he seeks the contact and steps further under from behind. Catherine has an incredible eye and was instantly able to key into a plan for us. I hope to post video as we go along so that you can follow in our progress.jennifer and wistarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11064165324773566153noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1485028736667697604.post-88815837372545746532010-08-05T21:24:00.000-07:002010-08-20T15:12:46.664-07:00Young Horse Championship Finals<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinj8vLsNdxKKTNZ6krUoZBSZR3qfQHkCXMjqFlNdYNLzlIAMaoeGcJvWfFcrwl4fJnUax7zDalcj3wAyXfABHqPTf-km48laiJVyz9I6Et-ot1BuCKu-wwjnBjLeYUbzvxGaf4TAfCOz8/s1600/VIO_7619.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 134px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinj8vLsNdxKKTNZ6krUoZBSZR3qfQHkCXMjqFlNdYNLzlIAMaoeGcJvWfFcrwl4fJnUax7zDalcj3wAyXfABHqPTf-km48laiJVyz9I6Et-ot1BuCKu-wwjnBjLeYUbzvxGaf4TAfCOz8/s200/VIO_7619.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5507618480837954674" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1qHVUQLf_niDyHQ3N7MRc0oCRLMcEfEG9ws-QzFmoIvHYmRnB8_LD7XrNhADazuuSfW7Uah2RPruNy4-qjYTu9jN0TS5TXjmTZAo3VUjt00pZeIF62SE_RAYG2pDSLpZqUVknHwVj5qA/s1600/VIO_7614.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 134px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1qHVUQLf_niDyHQ3N7MRc0oCRLMcEfEG9ws-QzFmoIvHYmRnB8_LD7XrNhADazuuSfW7Uah2RPruNy4-qjYTu9jN0TS5TXjmTZAo3VUjt00pZeIF62SE_RAYG2pDSLpZqUVknHwVj5qA/s200/VIO_7614.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5507618465027049378" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOgZNxnLcp7XS9_RytPJ9PSWDhJ2AuC8esSCiJAa4Pa1b7Q-mOhm0EtdmUdYWa4pwK3-N2dQR1UQcyOO4RUMrzjlcNJ9ipPeLDwpl3QZVoYK2r8blfVlCodJV1N9KqUSOziv3P5YGtxjY/s1600/VIO_7602.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 134px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOgZNxnLcp7XS9_RytPJ9PSWDhJ2AuC8esSCiJAa4Pa1b7Q-mOhm0EtdmUdYWa4pwK3-N2dQR1UQcyOO4RUMrzjlcNJ9ipPeLDwpl3QZVoYK2r8blfVlCodJV1N9KqUSOziv3P5YGtxjY/s200/VIO_7602.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5507618452417463730" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZWWnAG-1NLP-HsOE6zJxipLfsLPQGYgxYc0nZPP-27ALwEczAfl29opt8WHoH_uvxy_IPp67PqChhiU0jD8qA7SYmwkXiYSIpMd0Sy8vHspdewikSuZU7DKUDPGjKCOkyBkAK1ASKAZo/s1600/VIO_7595.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 134px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZWWnAG-1NLP-HsOE6zJxipLfsLPQGYgxYc0nZPP-27ALwEczAfl29opt8WHoH_uvxy_IPp67PqChhiU0jD8qA7SYmwkXiYSIpMd0Sy8vHspdewikSuZU7DKUDPGjKCOkyBkAK1ASKAZo/s200/VIO_7595.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5507618444024172962" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimsYALSXMU26GXgpr-cNhSjJxP7bF43Hiwwwv4qLI96Bql2CXBcML1bbgS7U8NRjMdtNzlIbhoOWwLyjvGKlC8IenX7NKhBn19XpXG3QnuPGWxH5drcJRmnmOwFNAtkIR-oRReBYJhebY/s1600/VIO_5826-WEB.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 154px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimsYALSXMU26GXgpr-cNhSjJxP7bF43Hiwwwv4qLI96Bql2CXBcML1bbgS7U8NRjMdtNzlIbhoOWwLyjvGKlC8IenX7NKhBn19XpXG3QnuPGWxH5drcJRmnmOwFNAtkIR-oRReBYJhebY/s200/VIO_5826-WEB.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5507618430965775778" /></a><br />HS Wrevolution, ridden by Jennifer Williams finished in 12th position with a 72.1% in this years USEF/Markel FEI 5 year old Young Horse Championships.

Jennifer has been very busy training and teaching, so I have offered to take on the role of keeping everyone updated on her successes. That being said, 2010 is off to a great start. Jennifer left early Saturday, February 27, with a full trailer. She will be staying in San Diego, with Steffen Peters, for the months of March and April. This year Jen brought six horses and her assistant, Jessica Warner, down with her.<br /><br />Jennifer's own Wrevolution, the 5 year old full brother to Warado, will be training for the FEI 5 year old tests this season. Are the West Coast Young Horse Championships, held in Flintridge, CA in this teams near future?<br /><br />Wista, an 8 year old Wistar mare, also went with the group. Owned jointly by Charlene Summers and Jennifer, she is schooling the Prix St. Georges. Wista is for sale, and videos can be seen at http://www.summervalefarm.com/mares.htm.<br /><br />Double Jeopardy, aka DJ, is an 8 year grandson of Wishes and Dreams. The beautiful black gelding is going to gain exposure. He is also for sale, and can be seen at http://www.summervalefarm.com/geldings.htm.<br /><br />Wellie, a Dutch/Clydesdale owned by Leanne Norseth, is also along for the ride. Affectionately called in the barn, Clutch, he is going with Jennifer to add some polish to his Dressage.<br /><br />Whrapsody, aka Sammy is a coming 5 year old Wistar Gelding owned by Paula Helm. Paula plans to come down for April and show, but until then, he will be learning the ropes.<br /><br />Klapton, owned by Tekla Jungaro and Rod Gregg, is the veteran rounding up the group. Tekla will be showing 3rd/4th level and enjoying learning on this handsome boy.<br /><br />Jennifer decided to leave Wistar and Warado home this spring, for some R&R. She wants Wistar fully rested so that he will peak on the European tour this November.<br /><br />The groups' first show is Dressage Affaire, March 12-14. The best of luck, and we look forward to hearing the great results!<br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJ70s94xMHmTkQ4f-AcUumu-jTAY4K-lSF2KxP3Te4d1CglpobGOP3lR_65ZMRiAlrO5_R2g4VjTxIy_4fMGoH1jrw3iqXpxhTdEgkE7KAgkJeOV6n5CR2g07rZga7QnudUO4EewJIkcg/s1600/Wistar.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 134px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJ70s94xMHmTkQ4f-AcUumu-jTAY4K-lSF2KxP3Te4d1CglpobGOP3lR_65ZMRiAlrO5_R2g4VjTxIy_4fMGoH1jrw3iqXpxhTdEgkE7KAgkJeOV6n5CR2g07rZga7QnudUO4EewJIkcg/s200/Wistar.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5453095659259973106" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Jennifer S. Williams Awarded $25,000 Anne L. Barlow Ramsay Grant From the Dressage Foundation<br /><br /><br />January 14, 2010<br /><br />The Dressage Foundation has announced that Jennifer S. Williams, of Yelm, Washington, has received the 2010 "Anne L. Barlow Ramsay Annual $25,000 Grant." The purpose of the Grant, established at The Dressage Foundation, is to showcase talented American-bred horses ridden by United States citizens, by providing money to train and compete in Europe.<br />Jennifer and Wistar<br />Photo Courtesy of Susan J. Stickle<br /><br />"Jennifer's dedication, qualifications, and desire to gain international experience impressed the Selection Committee," said Jenny Johnson, Administrative Manager of The Dressage Foundation. "The Dressage Foundation is proud to provide her and her horse, H.S. Wistar, the funding to help showcase an American-bred horse in the international arena," she said.<br /><br />Jennifer and her Hungarian Warmblood, H.S. Wistar will be training with Catherine Haddad in Germany during the Fall of 2010. The team will compete at the Oldenburg CDI and the Odense CDI. "Training and competing in Europe will give Wistar and me experience in how the European show system works, will give us experience with larger crowds and venues and will help acclimate us to the highest level of competition - international competition," Jennifer said. "The Anne L. Barlow Ramsay Grant will allow me to experience and learn from competing abroad, something I only dreamed about before the award."<br /><br />Dr. Anne Barlow Ramsay (FL) established a Charitable Remainder Unitrust in 1999. She worked with John Boomer, then President and CEO of The Dressage Foundation. "The remainder funds were designated to come to The Dressage Foundation in 2009," said Boomer, "and now her sizable fund will yield the $25,000 grant annually well out into future years." <br /><br />"Dr. Ramsay is a Renaissance woman -- a wife, mother, medical doctor, business executive, volunteer, world-traveler and equestrienne," said John Boomer. He added, "In 2009, Dr. Ramsay established a second Charitable Remainder Unitrust, with the remainder funds again coming to The Dressage Foundation in 2019, to continue her schedule of $25,000 annual grants far out into the future years." Boomer concluded, "Anne Ramsay's creative, distinctive gift is remarkable for its longevity -- it will be helping Dressage riders and American bred horses for a very long time to come."jennifer and wistarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11064165324773566153noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1485028736667697604.post-1576169730696652332009-10-06T23:20:00.001-07:002009-10-06T23:40:39.603-07:00Great American Championships<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiD7x6Mq19f54tLB-t2MeMl2lt62xnX4TpQXXLXJhb0yFVeiI8P2gGA5hxWHm8byQRkGGUFLrcaGtr501bwanCL0buj2bl5x1g04S2aGOFlv4bgFpaSMW7y5oY-6fMGqG2cF-jiN4Nvp_U/s1600-h/winning+head.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 102px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiD7x6Mq19f54tLB-t2MeMl2lt62xnX4TpQXXLXJhb0yFVeiI8P2gGA5hxWHm8byQRkGGUFLrcaGtr501bwanCL0buj2bl5x1g04S2aGOFlv4bgFpaSMW7y5oY-6fMGqG2cF-jiN4Nvp_U/s200/winning+head.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5389743686419603698" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjR9Al1pzOBY971vJlGaRqlBCb-aBY34nGej7TtWZhFva2IXopY88gwYIHLkAcdPgWqasXifUp7_AkNqVGFA-k6B4DKlKZ03CnfJZb-kAnhsr6p2Gsa9HMQ3d4nxkALS_r9BSX_RkfU7D8/s1600-h/warado+ext+canter.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 134px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjR9Al1pzOBY971vJlGaRqlBCb-aBY34nGej7TtWZhFva2IXopY88gwYIHLkAcdPgWqasXifUp7_AkNqVGFA-k6B4DKlKZ03CnfJZb-kAnhsr6p2Gsa9HMQ3d4nxkALS_r9BSX_RkfU7D8/s200/warado+ext+canter.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5389743411627736914" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiw7rfHoKF_bkWGMnO-yw6HbOApFr59UvNF2TGFXNjyt5-ujdl_P6P9amDpq67WHaSSvOGnao7_S9AHM8yiu1hBFLsrQ2DUEyYyFD0oOJgTe5cJuobIv-3d_kL_oxyjA42Igj56ZfUW-T8/s1600-h/wistar+and+Jen+09+GP+champion.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 188px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiw7rfHoKF_bkWGMnO-yw6HbOApFr59UvNF2TGFXNjyt5-ujdl_P6P9amDpq67WHaSSvOGnao7_S9AHM8yiu1hBFLsrQ2DUEyYyFD0oOJgTe5cJuobIv-3d_kL_oxyjA42Igj56ZfUW-T8/s200/wistar+and+Jen+09+GP+champion.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5389742883075633106" /></a><br />The season has finally come to an end. We had a wonderful year and there is much to be thankful for. The horses are all fit, sound, and healthy. I personally can't be more thrilled. This years regional championship was held at the beautiful Devonwood Equestrian Centre. The weather was fantastic and we all had a great time. <br /><br />The boys did great. Wistar won the Great American Grand Prix Championship and was Reserve Champion in the Great American Grand Prix Freestlye Championship(Congrats Linds on the win!) Warado was also the Great American 3rd level Champion for 2009.Reserve Champion in the class was HS Wishful Thinking who is also a Wistar son. Congratulation to Meghan Dorsey on her beautiful rides. Regalo had a super test in her Great American first level test and finished 3rd by the narrowest of margins. The victory gallop was fun and entertaining. The horses were definitely getting tired as the weekend wore on. They are so happy to be getting a well deserved break. <br /><br />Paige and her Pony Dan-O finished off the year as Champions at PSG and Intemediare one for their Great American classes. She was very excited to get her victory gallop in. Bev Huddleston and her gelding Ellusive (by Wistar)finished 6th of 25 in the Northwest Training Level AA division. I will post some pictures from that soon. Everybody take care and I will give you an update before we head off to CA in mid Feb next year.jennifer and wistarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11064165324773566153noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1485028736667697604.post-50881789504941299562009-09-21T21:13:00.000-07:002009-10-06T21:03:52.356-07:00Oregon Dressage Championships<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-AYtXUfVfhWNmduXR1Ynz1d6DBnFEQWfptQcxx5XYwYqO9BEph0izpd92jwARDKDLnDgLS6mzzaoTFTdyJmqGovALo9B2neOEZBvFEWHvw3Bsr16WQWswTuzVFQRePGGaIU_gx_ra6R0/s1600-h/ODS+Championships+%2709+380.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 133px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-AYtXUfVfhWNmduXR1Ynz1d6DBnFEQWfptQcxx5XYwYqO9BEph0izpd92jwARDKDLnDgLS6mzzaoTFTdyJmqGovALo9B2neOEZBvFEWHvw3Bsr16WQWswTuzVFQRePGGaIU_gx_ra6R0/s200/ODS+Championships+%2709+380.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5389703800523552978" /></a><br /><br /><br />Well it was another hot weekend down in Oregon at this years Oregon Dressage Championships held at Devonwood Equestrian Centre. The barn went down with 7 horses and we all had a great time. The temperature was up in the high 90's and we were cooking for a large portion of the weekend.<br /><br />I was fortunate to qualify and make it down with 4 horses this year. Wistar, Warado, Wrevolution, and Regalo. All four of the horses were wonderful and I felt very happy with their performances. Wistar competed in the GP and the GP Freestyle. The Freestyle was held on Sat in the afternoon during the some pretty warm weather. He was a good boy and worked hard earning Reserve Champion in the division. The next morning was the GP and it was much cooler. He felt more with me and gave a solid test for a score of a 66%<br /><br />Warado was stellar through the weekend. He was able to secure a win on all three days in his third level open classes with a 72.7% on the final Sunday ride and the ODS Third level championship.<br /><br />Wrevolution was my little greenie. He behaved himself for two full days but on the third day he just had to give a little excitement to the crowd. The first day in the open show at Training level he was great and was very ride-able. He is four this year and incredibly athletic which is part of the reason why I think he will make such a phenomenal GP horse in the future. He also has a great mind but at times he reminds me that he is four and has an overly athletic moment or two.<br /><br />In the Oregon championships you must ride two test over a two day period for the lower levels. On sat Wrev won the class with a 71% and was looking good for a championship. On Sunday we had an "athletic moment" with the judge commenting that he thought I was up for the good stay in the saddle belt buckle award. That horse continues to amaze me. I just love him! He ended up finishing fourth with a combined score of 68% and a good end to the season.<br /><br />Regalo my final mount for the weekend was also a super mare. She had just the two championship tests rides and handled the venue and the test like a pro. After day one Regalo finished second behind Debbie Evans and her lovely gelding by just 2 tenths of a percent. The next day she put in a very solid test for a 71.7% and the first level championship. Her owner Johnna Stevens was so excited, it was really sweet.<br /><br />We had a couple of Summervale Farm team members riding it up this past weekend as well. Bev Huddleston on the 6 year old Wistar son Ellusive took home a 5th place finish in the amateur training level championship division and 4th place in the first level division. Tekla and Bonsai finished 8th place at first level and 6th place at second level in the championship amateur divisions. Paige and her pony Dan' O finished Reserve Champion in the open PSG championship class and 4th in the Intermediare Championship, and Kristin on Larsie rocked out their first Intermedaire test in the open show. Congratulations to everyone at the show. There was some beautiful rides by many of the competitors.jennifer and wistarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11064165324773566153noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1485028736667697604.post-72745375551954605962009-09-21T20:28:00.000-07:002009-09-21T21:12:22.313-07:00Update on the summer progress<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1NfBCVhvTEyuWtuU1l3ERKiaQKt7jhF8xmnjtd_AnIHNyDtNTw-lGhtha8wYHltpjWxPcTVc_whiwtDVB_m6saRZPQC5RbyU8sY9VQxyvSZr89sWJI7NFhyphenhyphenHnIy4YeZG99jg2YPV_nHc/s1600-h/IMG_1864-1.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 132px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5384139227110338786" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1NfBCVhvTEyuWtuU1l3ERKiaQKt7jhF8xmnjtd_AnIHNyDtNTw-lGhtha8wYHltpjWxPcTVc_whiwtDVB_m6saRZPQC5RbyU8sY9VQxyvSZr89sWJI7NFhyphenhyphenHnIy4YeZG99jg2YPV_nHc/s200/IMG_1864-1.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div>It has been a while since my last posting and I apologize for the delay. The horses are doing great. We have been to quite a few local shows this summer. In June the barn went to Donida Farm in Auburn, WA for a show. Wistar did a GP Freestyle test there scoring a 74% and Warado some third level test. We also took one of our lovely sales mares Regalo who competed at first level and Wrevolution who did some training level test. All four horses did well and it was nice to get them out again after our great time spent learning from Steffen in San Diego.</div><br /><br /><div>We then did the Donida Farm show the end of July. Wistar did a GP test and his freestyle there which also went well scoring a 68.9% in the GP and a 70% in the Freestyle. The test are feeling much more confirmed in this second half of the season. </div><br /><br /><div>The first weekend in August was our very own Summervale Farm show which went great and every one seemed to have a wonderful time. We took the opportunity to get some of our young horses out and it was very good exposure for them. </div><br /><br /><div>The following weekend I was able to take Wistar and a couple of clients to the Spokane Sport horse show. This was a great venue and we all had a fantastic time. Wistar had a strong GP scoring a 72.5% and Paige Romney who rides her darling pony Dan' O and is only 14 was able to secure the FEI Highpoint in the FEI at Intermediare One with a 66% over the two day show. Tekla and her adorable gelding Bonsai also had a great show and we really enjoyed the trip. Next up is the ODS Championships in Sherwood, Oregon.

Steffen Peters and his mount, Ravel have recently won the FEI ROLEX World Cup with an 84.95% WOW! Many of the Summervale Gang were able to witness this awesome event. Steffen was calm ans cool as he entered the arena for the Grand Prix and I just couldn't help but feel like he was going to make it happen. Make it happen he did earning an amazing score and clinching the victory. It was the same result for the Grand Prix Freestyle. Poetry in motion. I am as motivated as ever to get back down to the beautiful farm of Arroyo Del Mar where he trains and continue to receive the priceless instruction that he gives. Here are a couple of fantastic photos taken by my friend, Siggi Wolff. Thanks so much Sig!<br /><br />On a side note the horses all made it home safe and sound. A major relief! We are taking it a bit easy for a period and then will get geared up once again to hit a couple of the Washington shows and perhaps head down once again to train with Steffen this Summer!jennifer and wistarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11064165324773566153noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1485028736667697604.post-77377938797588484472009-04-05T21:34:00.000-07:002009-04-05T22:34:47.778-07:00Rancho Murieta CDI<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmnWPZ9-rFTw2VaLR4z8KbupxjejgMfgySIjuD0ry1s5-eB4rQEETkxd22VHIWLodUPTSYSoGGY8vvEpfx0lUGiQJhgzz9ynEmq0TZX0K7xg9VvibRlAkL5NeRr21Tjl413HQM1WmzbNU/s1600-h/Golden+State+Dressage,+Sacramento+248.jpg"><img style="float:right;

It has been another lovely weekend of horses and Dressage competition. Wistar was a good boy in the Grand Prix CDI. He was honest in his work and tried hard. We had a couple of mistakes in the extended trot pieces which was a bit out of character for him. I was extremely happy with the quality of the canter pirouettes and the changes. The piaffe and passage tour is getting stronger and everyday we learn another piece of the puzzle it seems. Still a long way to go but were enjoying the journey.<br /><br />Warado has been a champ all month. He finished 2nd in his 3-3 test with a 65% and won his 4-1 test with a 68%. He is looking forward to a break when we get home.<br /><br />Wrevolution has been superb. He was 2nd yesterday in his T-1 class with a 66% scoring an 8 for his gaits. He is very brave and willing. He still needs some time to get strength over his back and carry some wight behind. He will be phenomenal in a year or two. <br /><br />Wista, who is being ridden by my assistant Jessica had another good weekend at Training and First level. She scored in the mid 60's all weekend and was very happy with the mare's performance.<br /><br />Arturo had a good show competing at Training level this weekend. He scored a 72% on Thursday taking home a high point award. Arturo is also being ridden by Jessica.<br /><br />Kristin O'Hearn and her equine mount Lars had a successful weekend as well. The pair who train in WA with Siggi Wolff of Cavallis,came down with the Summervale Farm gang to gets some more experience. Kristin was able to achieve both of her qualifying scores for 3rd level championships in the two shows she rode in along with her bronze medal scores and one score towards her silver medal. This was a big goal for Kristin so we want to give a big congratulations to her on that awesome achievement.<br /><br />Rod, Tekla, and Bonsai headed home from LA last weekend along with Natalie and her mom Carrie with Welsey. We already miss you guys but will see you all in a couple of days when we get home on Tuesday.<br /><br />Pictures from top to bottom are: Warado, Warado, Warado, Wista, Wistar in GP test, Wistar in test, Wistar at the jog inspection for the CDI<br /><br />Take care!jennifer and wistarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11064165324773566153noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1485028736667697604.post-58223483292208223102009-04-05T20:58:00.000-07:002009-04-05T22:36:10.692-07:00Festival of the Horse<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgG7SlPZrdyic3pqsOF9sPY6FKWi9aECwEpOM1zp3OwyzOv_CcUBPlAbfZ-ljADez99XbNLbYNfFNnf5CCFHut8PsUhq2ZFntpNS24i6zFpIWtozXmdgWBMoxwDy7gQpKhJe5AaSV4XG10/s1600-h/Festival+of+the+horse+Sun+006.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 134px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgG7SlPZrdyic3pqsOF9sPY6FKWi9aECwEpOM1zp3OwyzOv_CcUBPlAbfZ-ljADez99XbNLbYNfFNnf5CCFHut8PsUhq2ZFntpNS24i6zFpIWtozXmdgWBMoxwDy7gQpKhJe5AaSV4XG10/s200/Festival+of+the+horse+Sun+006.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321447953395332322" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuRLwEgkpX60aMtEKpYimceVgIZC736R186_XPJfMgRZqbYe6JySQlcbDdyLaF-UYpcVGbVUjmhdsVFVrByb3TNCL0kPAGNNJA73wh02ukWjMcAJCnozpT0IsYLbBguDG41wlv1kPmNH8/s1600-h/Golden+State+Dressage,+Sacramento+176.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 134px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuRLwEgkpX60aMtEKpYimceVgIZC736R186_XPJfMgRZqbYe6JySQlcbDdyLaF-UYpcVGbVUjmhdsVFVrByb3TNCL0kPAGNNJA73wh02ukWjMcAJCnozpT0IsYLbBguDG41wlv1kPmNH8/s200/Golden+State+Dressage,+Sacramento+176.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321445525757364418" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNRkiT3DVrU5m_Fa0aUwEAQYFPJ0YHPDlsVo0aNHnoNnXyQ6VI8_Wq14CGmrcfTUvRgM8da0hlgLLARNFQ1-tYTqr9g1C6Jswjstb_PlXdmcdvQrIabdGkMA1SKAvAea5zSZbDOSBfR3E/s1600-h/Golden+State+Dressage,+Sacramento+112.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 134px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNRkiT3DVrU5m_Fa0aUwEAQYFPJ0YHPDlsVo0aNHnoNnXyQ6VI8_Wq14CGmrcfTUvRgM8da0hlgLLARNFQ1-tYTqr9g1C6Jswjstb_PlXdmcdvQrIabdGkMA1SKAvAea5zSZbDOSBfR3E/s200/Golden+State+Dressage,+Sacramento+112.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321431535284571778" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGDwUbuicu3R9IXptoT_8JDbMXbZnlPGQuTqmEsIU_OkUyixuyCIhIcOSI90tZ__3eUtqObnz49HJdrr5kH94znhfXqv6JMYuvHs_QcHqLZQ4ZInhOR1mi-F2Yimg5mNuCi55HyjmNY60/s1600-h/ext+trot+burbank.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 134px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGDwUbuicu3R9IXptoT_8JDbMXbZnlPGQuTqmEsIU_OkUyixuyCIhIcOSI90tZ__3eUtqObnz49HJdrr5kH94znhfXqv6JMYuvHs_QcHqLZQ4ZInhOR1mi-F2Yimg5mNuCi55HyjmNY60/s200/ext+trot+burbank.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321431242320651234" /></a><br />It was a fun and exciting weekend at the Festival of the Horse Show in LA the weekend of March 25 - 29th. Our group had a wonderful time. The horses are all doing very well. I Thought I would throw up a couple of new photos for you. This was a warm up Grand Prix for Wistar before the CDI at Rancho Murieta next weekend April 2-5th. He had a very strong test with minimal mistakes. The goal for this year is to develop more consistency and strength. He is getting more solid everyday but as many of you know this is a life long process. I hope to get it all figured out before retirement.

All eight of our horses attended. Here are some of the details. Wistar and Warado were entered. Wistar did two open grand prix test in front of the panel of 5 CDI judges. He was very solid but still needs to develop strength and cadence in the piaffe/passage tour for higher scores. He competed Friday and Sunday scoring just under 63% both times which was good enough for 2nd place. Warado competed his first time at both 3rd and 4th level. His third level test went well winning 2 of the 3tests with a 67.436% and a 65.581%. He also did his 1st fourth level test which went off without a hitch and won the class with a 70.698%. <br /><br />We brought three young horses with us down to school and develop. Wrevolution, Arturo, and Wista. All three were super at their first horse show. Arturo, who is owned by Lenora and Bob Shaw, competed at Training level and was steady enough to take home the win in all four of his test of the weekend with his rider Jessica Warner who has been working for Jennifer for the past 8 months. Jessica also rode Wista who is owned by Charlene and Jennifer and competed her at Training and First level with scores ranging from 64%-66% and multiple wins. Wrevolution has been started under saddle recently. He attended the show to school but did not compete just yet. We hope to have him compete in LA in two weeks. <br /><br /><br />We also had Rod and Tekla Jungaro and Bonsai come down for this show with Natalie Perry and Welsey. Tekla and Bonsai achieved a 60% in their very first show together and at first level. We were very proud of the pair. Natalie had a successful show with Welsey, their first show together as well. Natalie is giving Welsey confidence and showing her the ropes of the Dressage shows down here. <br /><br />We also have Krisin O'Hearn down here with us. Kristin is a student of Siggi Wolff's that Jen clinics with from time to time. Kristin is hoping to compete at 3rd and 4th level at the LA show. She has brought a very sweet gelding Lars as her partner. We will surely have pics up of her next time.<br /><br />The pictures you see above are shown in the following order: Arturo and Jessica, The gang watching Warado in his 4th level test(Erica, Charlene, Paula, Natalie, Tekla), Natalie and Welsey, Wista and Jessica, Wrevolution and Jennifer, Bonsai and Tekla, Warado and Jennifer.<br /><br />Take care and hopefully I will get some photos back from the photogragher soon to add of Wistar.jennifer and wistarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11064165324773566153noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1485028736667697604.post-47078850320603219182009-03-08T18:56:00.000-07:002009-03-08T19:08:23.577-07:00New photos of the young ones<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3fnADLVCPHcp1eJzxDrNLbk4VvDv0oUH62xXAn1ZABx5XGXGe0ECZ_cS-IoXh9NPWK4Ox1d9un5Y5PpSu2H2Jf2iITlGDjBCd3mDh6UqWxpU0UPI8ussaejTsG29Iz313RaRRqguOkG0/s1600-h/canter.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 164px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3fnADLVCPHcp1eJzxDrNLbk4VvDv0oUH62xXAn1ZABx5XGXGe0ECZ_cS-IoXh9NPWK4Ox1d9un5Y5PpSu2H2Jf2iITlGDjBCd3mDh6UqWxpU0UPI8ussaejTsG29Iz313RaRRqguOkG0/s200/canter.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5311003481056298034" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCJSqTcRHpxcNXpg8yHOUoLoSWzZ3yGwRMl2FQ6CqgqnyygNoaTs0XDoOxk_UiWXtZSvH_8Ps47C22iLQ4InDEgrX51pT6rgiSS8hNJvO_KKnSroBtp9dhGiKhEs-Hq_axf8NOSRISPcw/s1600-h/Arturo+and+Jess+trot.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 180px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCJSqTcRHpxcNXpg8yHOUoLoSWzZ3yGwRMl2FQ6CqgqnyygNoaTs0XDoOxk_UiWXtZSvH_8Ps47C22iLQ4InDEgrX51pT6rgiSS8hNJvO_KKnSroBtp9dhGiKhEs-Hq_axf8NOSRISPcw/s200/Arturo+and+Jess+trot.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5311003357759848338" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4DIb3qqsEix1y1lMjD5-g3CwX308Aj5FwBTnmqkDdvI9R5Pg0utmVojZpTXXpeLBviK_Z3veA733HcK6VohCcANnmfapY5K5ruO1knHx-ohjfGPltDN7auXOe7pahYB2z3n98mu_jbNM/s1600-h/wrev+trot.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 148px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4DIb3qqsEix1y1lMjD5-g3CwX308Aj5FwBTnmqkDdvI9R5Pg0utmVojZpTXXpeLBviK_Z3veA733HcK6VohCcANnmfapY5K5ruO1knHx-ohjfGPltDN7auXOe7pahYB2z3n98mu_jbNM/s200/wrev+trot.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5311003157945886130" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgg7wMCWBmkydTkgsyql1l19WPq1dSO0FqDulaBqQA781phenjdlh8B1woNrFEFnpOF2WuXKXY81pSmBEAPraf1wICY4iF0dCn6hB18MGcs206g3icXQEBdAQwY2a9iWdVAkgZZd66yl8c/s1600-h/Wrev+head.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 136px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgg7wMCWBmkydTkgsyql1l19WPq1dSO0FqDulaBqQA781phenjdlh8B1woNrFEFnpOF2WuXKXY81pSmBEAPraf1wICY4iF0dCn6hB18MGcs206g3icXQEBdAQwY2a9iWdVAkgZZd66yl8c/s200/Wrev+head.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5311002909754058098" /></a><br />We have two coming four year olds along for the trip. Wrevolution and Arturo. Wrev, the bay, is listed on our sales page under geldings on the Summervale Farm site and is coming to gain experience and exposure down in CA. Arturo, the chestnut, is along for the same thing but has already been purchased by Bob and Lenora Shaw of Calgary, Canada. We are getting the boys all ready for their new owners to be. <br /><br />Wistar and Warado are doing great. Warado is currently making the transition into the double bridle and is doing wonderful. Bonsai, Rod and Tekla arrive tuesday along with Natalie and her mare, Whoohan. We are looking forward to having the group all together as we prepare for the first show, Dressage Affaire that runs this coming weekend the 13th -15th.jennifer and wistarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11064165324773566153noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1485028736667697604.post-85714598146939099542009-03-06T16:27:00.000-08:002009-03-08T17:53:03.459-07:00Training season has begun!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNvKw7aSe5Sxkw5rEJFuwwSg7Io3hdFQp4TSleWwkePP_sT3x4tlaR_VaZJClllH0sSRN4sWHIKL-AexrlMixCNCOqsHUyUFNQgqSaifsOu3g8O-3E75sdCIaOdLAiP7XdwPQROuba8cM/s1600-h/warado+piaffe.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 142px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNvKw7aSe5Sxkw5rEJFuwwSg7Io3hdFQp4TSleWwkePP_sT3x4tlaR_VaZJClllH0sSRN4sWHIKL-AexrlMixCNCOqsHUyUFNQgqSaifsOu3g8O-3E75sdCIaOdLAiP7XdwPQROuba8cM/s200/warado+piaffe.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5310237002310209090" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUyjXNHI64dVx2-2_z0cqWTnwell-PSrRTGyNjCV8-81T6aMCsrMvJSRGYqrjqKftazhzeNG6x6neG0u-YGcKRqFd9PhgrA4btzCH2EKe1CsG1CUi5ObN4Ofm_IezxpB8OQ8UJWjEP8V0/s1600-h/CA+2009+001.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 134px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUyjXNHI64dVx2-2_z0cqWTnwell-PSrRTGyNjCV8-81T6aMCsrMvJSRGYqrjqKftazhzeNG6x6neG0u-YGcKRqFd9PhgrA4btzCH2EKe1CsG1CUi5ObN4Ofm_IezxpB8OQ8UJWjEP8V0/s200/CA+2009+001.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5310236883066685746" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFAQ8T83_c2-SCEKRZ8WdlNt7CcIJHTKjExH1wan6WTzoBjNnRWuahMHy-sfMBi7IvZGKnNgabzx4Zda83GHPdCyDFEMtIWnmhhSoCeLLqBhSNByMIjLb2RDgf_FX-olba-JJtaVOHtbc/s1600-h/Warado+flying+change.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 114px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFAQ8T83_c2-SCEKRZ8WdlNt7CcIJHTKjExH1wan6WTzoBjNnRWuahMHy-sfMBi7IvZGKnNgabzx4Zda83GHPdCyDFEMtIWnmhhSoCeLLqBhSNByMIjLb2RDgf_FX-olba-JJtaVOHtbc/s200/Warado+flying+change.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5310236652262206194" /></a><br />Well we have been down in San Diego since Tuesday and the horses are all doing wonderful. We have six horses with us this year with two more on the way meeting us at our first horse show, Dressage Affaire in Del Mar.<br /><br />Wistar and Warado are doing very well. We are working with Steffen Peters again this year. I took my first lesson with Steffen yesterday, thursday, on Warado and that went really well. His changes are already getting more expressive.<br /><br />I have Warado's full brother Wrevolution down with us as well. Wow is he developing beautifully. This is his first trip to a show and he is so brave and uncomplicated, especially for a coming 4 year old. Watch for pictures of this talented guy coming soon.<br /><br />Thanks Kristen for taking the snap shots of Warado during our lesson with Steffen. It's been a while since we have had anything new of him.jennifer and wistarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11064165324773566153noreply@blogger.com0
