Subject: Flying W Farms Princess Sarah

Hi Fredericka,

Attached are some photo’s of Sarah in competition. She shows under her full name, Flying W Farms Princess Sarah (which I am so proud to bear). Everybody stops to look at her and ask about her. She is stunning. She stands roughly 17.1 or 2.

I started her about 9 – 10 months ago in classical dressage. This year was her first year in competition. The goal was to get her out among all the excitement at shows and let her get used to judges, rings and scary tents. She is about a year behind in her balance and movements, but taking the time was the right journey for her. I was surprised when she started taking first and second place in T3 and T4 competitions. This season she has taken (4) first place, (6) second place, (1) third place, (1) fourth place and (1) fifth place. She has had some stiff competition up in Grand Haven and has taken many first place slots! She scores in the mid - upper 60’s and low 70’s. Not bad for her first season!! We’ll start training her for level one.

Sarah has qualified for regionals this year! She received her first qualifying score in late in August (72.200) and I wasn’t able to get her to another recognized show prior to regional’s next week. She just came back from a schooling show this past weekend (which she hasn’t shown since August) which she did really well taking another first and second place with scores of 69.0 and 66.2.

I couldn’t be more happy for her. She is my best friend and I love her dearly!

Enjoy the pictures.
Kind regards,
Carol
