FEI Debut!

Leah and Rhumba headed to Kenosha, Wisconsin to Silverwood Farm to make their FEI debut. It was the first time at Prix St. Georges for both horse and rider. Overall it was a successful weekend. The goal was to earn one score toward Leah's USDF Silver Medal. Two scores from two different judges above 60% are needed at both 4th Level and Prix St. Georges to earn the Silver Medal. Riding for the same judge both days (Tom Poulin 'S'), we had the opportunity to earn one score total this weekend. Saturday's test had a few costly mistakes, for a score  of 57%. Sunday went much better - a more energetic and expressive test with fewer mistakes for a 64%. It was lucky that the weather cooperated to give us nice cool temperatures! Silverwood is a lovely place to show.
