Becky and Jessie kicked off the show season on April 7th with an ESDCTA Youth Fix-A-Test clinic at Beaver Creek, in Ringoes, NJ. Clinician Ann Forer is an "R" dressage judge (a familiar face around Hidden Creek, as she has judged many shows for us and will be again this June!).
Becky brought Rufus to run through her Third Level Test 3 for the first time in front of a judge. After a 60.260% on her first test, Mrs. Forer worked with Becky to improve Rufus' half passes.
Jessie and Thunder also debuted a new test, as it was their first time riding First Level Test 3 before a judge. After a 60.000% on the first test, Mrs. Forer helped with Thunder's straightness, leg yeilds, and changes of lead through trot. Their score improved to a 62.580% in their second test just a half hour later!
Thank you to ESDCTA, Ann Forer, Beaver Creek Equestrian Center, and host Cindy Roesner for a wonderful clinic. The next ESDCTA Youth clinic will be held at Hidden Creek on May 12th.
