Hi Susan

Archie has not been out much since the summer regionals but has already qualified for the Winter Open medium and Winter medium music.

Tina Atkins (Archie's rider) decided she would like to attempt an advanced medium to music, therefore we decided to take him to Sparsholts. As the venue was so far away I booked him into the Medium and Advanced medium to music.

He won the medium with a score of 72% and was third in the Advanced medium with a score of 69%. Not bad for a first attempt !!

Tina is very pleased with his progress and she is hoping to compete in a pas du deux by 2006. Tina trains with Pammy Hutton and is hoping to take Archie for a lesson some time in the new year.

Hopefully he will continue to excel and I will keep you informed on his progress. If I don't see your before, we will see you at the Winter Regionals.

Regards

Ann
