I saw the picture of Grande and I on your web site. Thought you might like an update on our shows. Last year (2002) we finished 10th at Training Level at BLM and were Reserve Champion for Training Level at the ESDCTA Championships. We also finished third overall for Training Level at ESDCTA's Year-End Awards.Two weekends ago, we were representing ESDCTA on the First Level team at the Region 1 Adult Team Competition in Maryland. Our team won first place (as did all of the ESDCTA teams) and Grande and I were First Level Champions with a high score of 68.889%.This year, in addition to showing First Level, we have been competing in First Level Musical Freestyle with all of our scores being 66+ to 67+%. We have qualified at First Level and at First Level Freestyle for both BLM and ESDCTA Championships this year and are qualified at Training Level, First Level and First Level Freestyle for the Region 1 GAIC Championships (formerly called ABICs). I'll let you know how we do.

Thanks for breeding horses like him. He's a dream come true (most days). I'll update you more at the end of October after all of the championships are done. Thanks for posting us on your site - it was neat to see us there.
