Hi Elizabeth,
I just wanted to let you know that Sand Trapper and I competed in our first recognized Horse Trials Oct 15-16 at Ft. Rucker in the Beginner Novice Division.

Still being green, our dressage was in the 40's, so you can pretty much count out placing with that. But he does have the movement and trainability that we will be in the 30's soon.

As for cross country, he is a machine and he loves it. He is fine with water, ditches, drops and banks, and of course time is never a factor!

In stadium we still have to work on our steering, but he never touches a rail. He is just a joy to ride. I couldn't ask for a better mover or jumper and he really wants to please you.

Sand Trapper is very smart and loves me to death. If I am out of his sight, he gets very upset. He is like a puppy dog. I've never had a horse like that. But anyway, I thought you might like the pictures and see how good he is doing.

Talk to you soon,
Kristi

Kristi was extremely pleased with his stadium jumping ability. She says his dressage still needs work but who could image that Sand Trapper is just three months away from his racing career when you look at these jumping photos!

Sand Trapper competes in his first combined training event at Beginner Novice level! Kristy said he was wonderful cross-country with a clean ride and no time faults. The dressage and stadium jumping need some work but a great time was had by both horse and rider. Watch for photos soon. They are aiming at doing an Intermediate level competition in a few years.

Hi Elizabeth I just wanted to let you know that Sand Trapper arrived today and I could not be happier. I will call you with all of the details later, but I wanted you to see how unhappy he is to be here. ha ha I will send more pics later. This was his first trip into a dressage ring. He just wanted to lay down. He is great and a sweetie. Thanks and I will call you tomorrow.
