This was a great year for Cazador and myself. We successfully showed 2nd level freestyle, 3rd level technical and 3rd level freestyle. We qualified for both 2nd and 3rd level freestyle and 3rd level for Regional Championships in Scottsdale, Az. For all of my freestyles at regionals, the sound tech was not spot on so one I couldn’t hear the music, and one he started way before I was ready so that was rushed to catch up. We did ride our 3rd level technical test but we were a little tense. Good experience.
We also completed the requirements for my USDF Bronze Medal and our USDF Bronze Freestyle Bar! It was a lot of hard work but was excited when Jan Lawrence from Millbrook Farms came out with my last score! Cazador was my ride for all of the Freestyles and Master helped with my 2nd level scores and Cazador finished that up with my 3rd level scores. I so love these horses.
At year end, Cazador was Nationally ranked #1 for Andalusians in 3rd level Adult Ametuer Freestyle, #2 for Andalusians in 3rd level Open Freestyle, #1 for Andalusians in 2nd level Adult Ametuer and Open Freestyle.
For Utah Dressage Society, Cazador was ranked #4 for 3rd level technical Adult Amatuer, 1st for 2nd level freestyle, and 1st for 3rd level freestyle!
