Hannah Lu, owned by Sarah Reese and Joan White, was great this weekend in the dressage show at Stable View. I just kind of changed the way I ride her, warming up with a light seat and keeping things a little loose and that works really well for her, since she tends to be a bit of a tight horse. She was really good, she placed 2nd to Shawna Harding in the PSG with 69% and won the I-1 on Sunday with 68% which was really good for her.

Hello Everybody,
Here is our girl Rosa, still in her stall after being diagnosed with Potomac Horse Fever just before Dressage at Devon. But she is so much more comfortable and is moving around her stall much more comfortably. Dr Griffin told me that she is doing as well as she could be at this stage in her recovery. We still have no further diagnosis but I am just happy that she is not in pain for now. Luckily Rosa does not mind being in her stall 24 hours a day!
