My last event of the Aiken winter season was very successful for me! Both Cole and Charmer were 2nd in their respective divisions. AND both of them won highest placed OTTB, Charmer in the prelim, Cole the intermediate. The courses were very tough at all levels and required a great deal on control and commitment. Cole just feels wonderful at the moment and can take on just about anything.

Charmer has really found her form and made the tricky and technical lines look like a pony club course. She also had the distinction of being the only prelim horse (of 45) to finish on her dressage score!!

Next week I have a dressage competition before heading back to MD via Southern Pines for the advanced. Thank you to the event organisers, Jumping Branch Farm and most importantly my owners who support me, for a great start to the year!
