    ruth moved up a class to FEI Intermediare 1

    only Intermediare 2 and Grand Prix are harder

    This was Their first try at this level. keeping in mind that at the end of the last competition year they were scoring between 69-72% at a relatively easier level. lt was kind of mind blowing to see them score a 69.118% and win the competition on their first try.

    I'm sure there's a whole bunch of stuff that goes in that that I would never understand but that is a beautiful horse and it is certainly well-mannered and you're wife looks like she's in complete control. Seems like a rather harmonious example of animal and womankind.

    I'm with Tom in that I don't understand a thing about what they're doing, but they look good doing it...The arena looks exactly like one where I took photos at another horsie event a few years ago, except for the mirrored wall...Wasn't there an audience at this one?......Ben

    The seating is behind the videographer and it was a cold rainy day. not many folks there besides family and a few friends of the riders
