Lounge at Main Arena

At the same showgrounds there was a CDI 3* and national show going on at the same time, so there were hundreds of dressage horses there.  Beside the WDM, the highlight for us was watching Juanito Matute compete in the trials for the FEI Juniors on his new horse Don Diego.  He sent the rest of the field back to school with two decisive wins with 69+%.  Really fun to see.

WINTER WONDERLAND

After much discussion and planning the mother decided to take the plung and bought a house in Wellington.  We  love it there so much and the dressage community there is so fun.  So beginning in 2013 we will take Villa Rosa to the winter wonderland of Wellington, to show and train for a few months in the winter.
