Our three weeks of flatwork instruction were put to the test on Friday evening when about half of Jackie’s pupils turned out to ride a formal test. For a couple — Suzanne and Maura — it was their first ever dressage test and they overcame the psychological hurdle with smiles on their faces. Their’s were probably the greatest achievements of the evening but, in formal terms, it was Cyril on Lady in the Primary & Advanced Primary division and Ava on Spirit in the Intermediate & Above class who were the night’s big winners.
A very big thanks to Jackie for the detailed and constructive feedback on the tests, to Audrey and Rachel for scribing, and to Ed for camera duty (there were other cameras there on the night too so cough up the photos everybody!). The biggest thank you of all goes to Martina who managed record numbers of members on each of four Fridays in an expert manner.
