We're all packed and ready to begin our second big California trip of the year, this time to beautiful San Juan Capistrano for the back-to-back CDIs hosted by California Dreaming Productions. We'll head to Bishop again for the first leg of our trip, where we will overnight, then onwards to San Juan Tuesday and we'll arrive mid-afternoon on Tuesday. The FEI jog is Thursday, the CDI GP on Friday, and the CDI GP Freestyle on Sunday.
Majek is going to sit this one out, he is still recovering from that stupid ringworm (he has several raised welts on his back where the saddle pads goes) he contracted at the last show. Victor's hives seem to be under control (finally), hopefully we won't see any recurrences while we're there. Bolero is going to get back in the show ring after over a year off and do his first Third level tests. He mostly needs to get more experience and learn how to handle the environment.
Victor will do the GP and GP freestyle again the first weekend but unfortunately we are wait-listed for the CDI for the second weekend. They had just a ton of entries for these CDIs which is great for West Coast dressage but not so great for those of us who didn't get our entries in early. :( I figure if all else fails we can either pick up some rides in the National show or just turn it into a schooling weekend with Leslie.
Looking forward to another exciting competition!!
Fingers crossed for waitlist and/or national/lessons. Sorry to hear that Majek is missing out, hope he heals up asap & that the hives don't resurface for your other lovely lad.
ReplyDeleteShall keep everything crossed for Bolero's return to he busy show scene
