Constantly Learning

Good afternoon everyone!

Lately, as you know, Glenda has been focusing on gaining experience for two of her mares in training, KA Clover and PL Irish Pearl. Last weekend, she did just that! Glenda took both mares to the Marlboro Horse Trials held at the Rosaryville State Park in Upper Marlboro, Maryland. It was an usually hot day in the midst of the cool summer we've had and the girls were not liking the warmer temps! Glenda competed Pearl in the Open Training division and was able to finish with two rails in stadium and a little hang-up on cross-country. Although it wasn't their best competition to-date, Glenda said Pearl was a trooper in the heat, and still went around everything bravely.

Clover competed in the Open Beginner Novice and did well finishing in 7th place. Clover was unsure in a "looky" stadium round, but overall very brave with only one rail in stadium and a clear cross-country course!

Overall, Glenda is happy that both girls got around and got more experience at events. Up next is the Surefire Horse Trials this weekend (September 27 & 28) in Purceville, Virginia.  Clover is getting the weekend off, but Pearl will be competing in the Open Training division again.  Stay tuned to see how they do!
