Sunday morning started bright and early with Barb in the warm-up arena at 7:15am. The arena was a pool of slurry. The one good thing about being the first rider of the day is that no one else is out there competing for space. Barb and Fidelis had their most accurate ride of the weekend and received a 61%. 2010 will see her no longer competing at 1st level. She's delighted that her flying changes will finally be rewarded at 3rd level.
Laurie and Zonner were the next to go in the Open 1st Level Championships and though the footing was poor and Zonner pulled a shoe during the test, he still managed to earn a 72%.
Laurie and Lizzie rode in the same class a few hours later, earning a 71%. Zonner and Lizzie stood side-by-side in the awards ceremony finishing 5th and 6th respectively.
Our FEI riders made us proud. Robyn and Willow scored a 62% in the Young Rider PSG for 7th place, Andrea and Voom also received a 62% and a 7th place in the Open PSG and Kelly and Irioso scored 59% to win the Intermediare II Young Rider Reserve Championship.
All the results are posted here.
We have all earned a little rest before we establish goals for the 2010 Show Season and we are excited and looking forward to next year's finals in Michigan. Dressage by the Bay in Traverse City has been selected as the venue. 1999, Waterloo, was the last time Michigan hosted the Region 2 Championships. Northern Michigan in early September will be beautiful, and hopefully a little dryer.
