Hi Susan
Silk has qualified at Medium! She won both classes at Oldencraig on 16 March, M69 with only 61.5% as we had some mistakes (basically we have started changes so that make life a bit exciting at times!) and M64 with 64.57% which of course is a qualifying score. That means of her last 4 tests she has won three and come second in one. We are entered for W Wilts next Friday, but I have not decided yet whether to go or not.
Dear Susan
Silk returned to competition this weekend following the best part of three years off - well two years off with injury and then having a foal, plus one year bringing her back into work - very slowly!
Berkshire - 3
March M69Q 1st R and overall with 66.97%
Wellington - 5 March M73Q 2nd R with
64.12%, missing first place and hence missing qualifying by just 4 marks!
Next stops are Oldencraig on 16th and W Wilts on 30th March.
I know that she is feeling well and enjoying competing again as she is as spooky as ever! We have been working on changes and pirouettes over the winter and she can definitly piaffe and passage!
Her foal by Suzannes Hanoverian stallion Walentino is now rising two and gorgeous so I have decided to keep him! He has Silks highly cadenced trot, plus fabulous good looks and a super temperament, even though still uncut (not for much longer).
Would love to hear from you.
Take care
Lindsey
