I just wanted to let you know that my horse Show Sneak Per View, clearly
out of Sneak Per-View. Was 4th in the Novice Amateur Equitation Over Fences
at the Congress this year. We did not pin in our other classes out here,
but I was the one who made the mistakes, not her. It was her first time
ever at Congress, and she has only be showing in the hunters since the
very end of last July. She has amazing expression and a judge at a clinic
at the regional experience even discussed her expression with the audience.
She said she had great expression, and wanted the audience to notice it.
She was extremely natural at lead changes. She learned one of them in
a day. The other took a couple days to get it pretty consistent. She has
been started out and maintained over fences by me. I never really showed
over fences or jumped before I had her. So both of us were new to fences,
and I did not have a trainer doing it all. My trainer would only ride
her if I couldn't make my lesson that week. So she has been extremely
easy to train over fences, and is very honest to fences. She has a ton
of heart! So I just thought I would share that with you for advertising
purposes or if people have any questions about his off-spring because
I think she is a great example of what you can really get out of him.
Thanks,
Rachel Walczyk

Hi Cherri,
I have some great news for you... your babies are superstars!
We decided to take Spider and Amelia to Rochester on Sunday and they made quite an impression on everyone there. The start of the day wasn't very good because we were a little late, and about half way there I realized I forgot my show halter! But once we got there both Amelia and Spider were calm enough for everyone. Amelia was knickering a bit, but she remembered everything. Spider got a 2nd in halter, and Amelia got a 3rd in different classes(both out of about 10 or 12 horses).
As for showmanship... well... Spider was doing a perfect job right up until it was her turn to go in line! She swung her hip while mom was trying to set her up to go, and then she was a crooked when she left the line. Which was too bad because the rest of the pattern was perfect. And with mom's outfit on, and Spiders fake tail in, they looked like a million bucks!
As for me and Amelia, I haven't been practicing the 360s, only 90 and
180s because I don't want to put too much strain on her hocks right now.
And guess what... the pattern asked for a 360. In addition I think both
my mom and me got the anatomy question wrong. But now for the great stuff.
I tacked up in time only to catch the last 4 minutes of the warm up for
English and
my 1st class was right after that, but she was completely calm so I didn't
worry. The only thing that went wrong that class was we picked up the
wrong lead to the left, but we switched it before the judge saw... so
we won! The judge even came up and said "nice ride". And, it
wasn't just Joanne, Mom and Ann clapping for me (although they were pretty
loud), but a lot of other people too! And the little girls handing out
the ribbons said that they really liked my horse.
Cherri, I was crying! Then we went on to the Adult Equitation. In the pattern again we missed the lead, but I just kept my leg on her and she did a perfect flying change after only a couple strides... so we still got a 3rd! This time the judge came up and said "good job". And finally we went in the English Pleasure stake. We were both tired, but Amelia never complained. This time when we missed the lead the judge saw. Oh well. She came up after and said "too bad about the lead in the beginning."
Cherri it was a great day! I was ready to retire her after the show, but changed my mind after pitching it to everyone else.
I HAVE THE BEST HORSE EVER!
As for Spider... They had decided to just ride her in the warm up. So, Joanne rode her during the English break and the lunch break. She was a little tense, but behaved very nicely. Mom just started riding her in an English saddle again about a week ago and didn't feel that comfortable yet. But the great news about her... after riding Friday night mom got off and said "that was the best ride I have had in my life!".
Sorry if I rambled a bit, I am still so excited. She is going to get a week off with a strict diet of hay, grass and cookies, and then the next show is Yodys in September. And then she gets the fall off.
Cherri, you have great horses...
Claire
