Chatt Hills in August

Chatt Hills. What a weekend! We brought three horses and all three were out of this world. 

Luftmann MWF, owned and bred by Meredith Michelfelder and Midway Farms, came out with his game face and won the Beginner Novice. 

Maggie Mills and her own Star Walk were third in their beginner novice debut!! It is so nice to see Luke's beautiful face more often. We see great things in Maggie and Lukie's future.


Ted was an absolute champion! He put in a personal best dressage test with a score of 28.9 and ran around a big, tough cross country building confidence all the way. Today I dropped the ball; I didn't give him a confident warm up, and I hustled him to the first few fences which he does NOT like and so I dropped a couple rails. Ted is truly special. I so wanted him to get a prize so everyone else can see how special he is too. But it doesn't work that way. This sport is particularly though because you have to be good at all three phases on any given day. Ted continues to get better and better. He will have his day. In fact I suspect he will have many of them. Bring it on!!

Now we're headed home. Already had a flat tire. We ran over a screw somewhere along the way here. But got it changed and fingers crossed for an easy trip home. Peace out!
