Riverbend Schooling Dressage October 13, 2007

Ally Merritt riding her appaloosa gelding Justa Splash of Attutitude, "Jake" took a first in Intro A wiith a score of 63.5and a first in Training 1 with a score of 58.3.	Elizabeth Kosa riding her new Hanovarian gelding Feuerfliege, "Achilles" had a lovely Training 2 test taking the blue with a score of 58.6.
Furman IDA team's Melissa Wilson rode Bentley through his first two Training tests - and his second time away from the barn - to a fourth and a fifth. Every time Bentley enters the ring he gets comments of "Lovely horse." A big thank you to Ria Thress who trusts us with her Bentley's care.	And for anyone who has watched a moment of Maggy's work with Norman - the personal Bramblewood blue goes to both of these amazing creatures. It is hard to write in a paragraph the things that this horse has taught us about the world, the trauma of the race track, and our spirits. To catch him with his eyes drooped, relaxed away from home is worth more than the highest score of the day. We love you both with all our hearts.

SCDCTA Show at Riverbend May 2007

Six horses (seven counting Kandyman, but we share him with Riverbend and he has his own car) traveled out for a day of schooling, feedback and miles. We are so proud of everyone - many of the horses had never been to a show of any sort and the young ones settled into their work like old pros. As always, we thank Jill and Tricia at Riverbend for all their hard work and for bearing with our last minute entries and late night shipping.

Virginia Intermont Spring Show
Congratulations to the Furman IDA team for winning the inaugural Sportsmanship award for the season
and to Emily Hunter for taking a fifth place in Intro!

Congratulations Furman IDA Team!
Dana Weidenfeller left the judge speechless with a 70.6% in Upper Training level at the Virginia Tech show on February 17th. Dana was the high point rider of the show, took a blue in her division, and the team walked away with sixth place. Not bad for our first year!
