While Ty's rookie show season came to an abrupt and early ending, looking back it was still a show season to be extremely proud of and if this is any indication of his talent and ability, his future is very bright.
With just a year under saddle, Ty placed consistently in dressage with a median score of 65.08% at Training Level, ending his show season with scores in the 70's on his last three tests!
This is from our second show riding Training Level Test 2. Ty has improved by leaps and bounds even since this video was taken in May.
We also took a shot at SHIH and SHUS, certainly we have some things to work on in these areas, but got some great feedback from the judges and it was a good learning experience for Ty to venture into some different disciplines.
This summer we also made our first attempt at First level, again a huge accomplishment for a horse that has only been under saddle for a year. We decided to go to a schooling show on a whim and only practiced the tests and movements a few days before the show.
This is our First Level Test 2 ride. Our plan was to debut officially at First level this fall, but that will have to until next year.
I'm sorting through our show photos and will add some when I get them together. Stay tuned....
