The Girls Do Good!

The two "girls" of the yard where out on Sunday.  Dolce Vita for an Elementary qualifier and Novice music, Divine for the Elementary music.  The morning getting ready was pretty horrid with teaming rain and we knew it was outdoors and that our times would mean we where riding under lights in the dark....not a great prospect!

Dolce Vita was in a bit of a mood from the start - she did not want to work on her day off!  However I coaxed her through and she won the Elementary with 69% and qualified for the Regionals!  She then went on to win the Novice music with 75.83%.  Not bad for an "off day".

Divine came out under the lights and in the dark as if she had done it all her life and went beautifully - I was thrilled with her!  She won with 76.66%.  All in all the girls did good!

News on Vanita - he managed to hurt his leg whilst at a show recently and so is having some time out as advised by the physio.  He looks OK in walk, so we will see next week.  Not the best warm up for the Challenge - but the important thing is that he will be alright.
