| Melinda Walton and Larry T. Smith's Benefactor RS finished 2nd in his Materiale Class and Reserve Champion overall in the Breed Show at Dressage at Devon |
We have had a very busy past two days at the Dressage at Devon Breed Show! I was showing Melinda Walton and Larry T. Smith's three yearlings, Shoene the two-year-old, Rio the three-year-old, Hannah in-hand and Di Solitaire, Benny,
Hayden, Hannah and Rio under saddle. We have come up with a
lot of ribbons for all of them and Benny was the star, becoming reserve champion
in the final today. Results
Melinda and Larry should be very proud of their babies! The two of them are
really breeding some amazing horses and I am very lucky to be able to ride their
horses for them.
Working student Beau Guimond did an amazing job handling all the young horses in the
ring and he really showed off their potential. Beau has been working with all the
babies for the past two weeks and he has been taking it very seriously. That
really showed today and yesterday.
My very good friend Lizzie Verney has been a huge help too, getting up at four am
every day and driving out to the show with me, to then help with everything all
day long.
Kymmy has been wonderful, organizing all the chaos and keeping everything on
track as well as taking very good care of the horses. By the time Lizzie and I
arrive at the show at 5.30am, Kymmy has all ready finished mucking all the
stalls and fed all the horses! On top of all she does, she rode her young horse Hayden beautifully
today!

With the help of Gracia, Cheryl Grifith, Kaitlin Slimak, Kymmy's friend
Sara and the rest of us we had all the horses looking like a million dollars. I am so lucky to have all these fantastic people around me to be able to do
what I do. With so many horses at the show, you need a really good team to not
only get it done but also get it done well.
I am also very proud of Constantina and Amy Heron for placing fourth in the Materiale class at their very first Dressage at Devon.

Our friend and part-owner of Rosa and Hannah, Sara Reese came out yesterday
and today to cheer us on. Sara has been a great supporter of Boyd and me for
many years and we love having her around anytime she can join us.
Tomorrow we have another big day with the babies showing one more time in
the morning and the performance show starting in the afternoon. Kymmy rides Hayden in the 4-year-old class and Markie in fourth
level. I ride Di Solitaire in the 4-year-old class, Stately, Rosa and Duvent in
fourth level .
We will keep you posted!!
