This show had it all!
Excellent show management and friendly well-trained volunteers, who handled with great aplomb bolts of lightning, sheets of rain, and gale-force winds, not to mention the loss of electricity these caused.
An incredibly delicious competitor party, complete with door prizes.
And, best of all, a happy [and hardy] crew of HPF competitors and schooling students who achieved several firsts!
Thank you, Cindy, for your tireless devotion to your students and to the discipline of dressage.
Thank you, Morgan, for taking care of the horses and videotaping the rides; it made all our lives so much easier!
