Triple Clear X-Country Day

  Another cool, but gorgeous day. Office work (filling orders! yay!!!) kept me inside until late morning. First on the agenda was to take Irish for a hack. Then buzz over to Paradise Farm to catch Lucy and Meghan ride their XC. Below is a view of the courses as seen from the parking area... a sea of jumps.

 Emily & Doug went early so I missed them but the report from Pol is that they had a lovely ride. Doug was a star and Em did well to stay the course despite a very sore body and stiff neck from yesterday's dump.

Lucy and Bouncer were next to go and they had a very smooth, steady ride.

 

  The novice course seemed to flow well, but there were a number of challenging questions for the novice level including a sharp bending line through the water to a log jumping up and out (demonstrated here by Meghan & Takita):

   

They also finished up with a clear round, making it a triple successful day for the B-Eventing Team!

  Before heading home, they walked the stadium course which will be ridden tomorrow morning.  Calvin lead the way and was quite informative despite his lower angle of view.

 "CSI:  B-Event Unit"!!!

  And finally... Dog of the Day:
