KCB had a great end to the Ontario season at Will o WInd horse trials this past weekend! Even though it was freezing cold!!

Lauren and Coolum XV (Benny) had a great day! Benny did a nice dressage test and then punched out a clear showjumping and cross country to finish fourth in junior training level! After Lauren and Benny's amazing prelim upgrade at Woodwind they decided to go training level at Will o Wind to end the season on an extra positive note! Benny thought it was a breeze!

Jamie and Don't Blink (Juliet) also had a awesome weekend! Juliet was feeling the cold weather in dressage warmup and was a little bit saucy throwing in some bucks! As soon as Juliet was in the ring she new her job and did a nice test to be  in 11th place after dressage in a competitive open Prelim division. Juliet jumped a great show jump round and had just one rail. Jamie and Juliet had their best cross country round yet!!! Finishing with a clear round and 16 time faults to move up to fourth!! Watch Juliet on XC HERE Jamie tried a new bit for jumping this weekend and is so excited about it!! Juliet was jumping like a champ in it!!

Jamie was also riding Exuberant (Newby) a sales horse of Jessie's at Will o Wind. Jamie and Newby's weekend started out extremely well finishing first after dressage. Newby then went on to be a superstar in showjumping picking up a couple rails. Unfortunately Jamie fell off Newby on cross country at fence four. Jamie said that Newby was being a cross country machine when he locked onto a skinny fence five strides off a bank. Jamie became unseated before the skinny and couldn't quite hold on as Newby popped over the skinny like a good boy. He then went on to continue his own cross country coarse through the dressage rings. ( Sorry everyone :) )

Hanna had an amazing weekend on Jessie's Sales horse Achilles Heel. Achilles pulled out his best dressage score yet! Then, in stadium Achilles was being a star and jumping so well! Out of the tripple Achilles gave a huge jump and tripped on the landing so Hanna got a little unseated. Achilles was already locked on to the next fence so Hanna threw herself back in the saddle and jumped the next fence with no stirrups! After that fence Hanna regrouped and jumped the rest of the course for a clear round! Achilles went on to prove what a cross country machine he is finishing the tough coarse clear and fast! Achilles and Hanna ended up in third place and won a sweet pair of SSG show gloves! 

We can't wait to continue our show season in FLORIDA!!  

  KCB had an amazing weekend at Woodwind HT this past weekend! It was Benny's upgrade to Prelim, Hanna and Mustards upgrade to intermediate and Jamie and Juliets best Prelim result yet! Jamie and Hanna also showed sales horses of Jessie's at the training level and killed it! 

  Lauren and Benny had an amazing show and rocked their first prelim! Benny is a green 6 yo and Lauren made it look  ridiculously easy! Their dressage test was beautiful (as always) with some minor mistakes in the canter. Their show jump round was awesome!! Benny had two rails due to spookiness (giant butterflies etc.) Finally they flew through XC like champs!! At the end of the day Lauren and Benny brought home a 4th place ribbon!!!! GO BENNY! 

    Hanna and Mustard had an unreal first Intermediate! They started the day off, way too early in the morning, with dressage! Dressage has been the focus of their training for the past three weeks (since hanna bought him 3 weeks ago). it was all looking promising in the trot work.. he nailed the shoulder in and travers. then came the turn on the haunches to canter transition.... Mustard got so excited to canter, and was jumping out of his skin! Long story short, it got pretty "cray-cray". After dressage was finished they had a flawless stadium and produced a clear round! Their first intermediate and a clear round! shortly after was xc and Mustard could not have been better! he was flying over the fences like they were cross rails and going intermediate speed like it was his day job. They came in with just 4 time faults and finished 2nd overall! GO MUSTARD!
Watch Mustards stadium and xc HERE

Hanna also showed Achilles Heel in Training level and came 2nd place! had 1 rail in stadium and a clear cross country! See Achilles at Woodwind HERE GO ACHILLES!!

    Jamie and Juliet had their best Prelim show yet! They had an amazing dressage with no mistakes! After dressage they were placed 2nd!!! Since Jamie has had Juliet there has always been intense training to better her dressage, but in this past year Jamie and Juliet have been rocking the dressage rings and constantly been placing in the top after dressage! AMAZING! Then it was time for stadium. Jamie produced and amazing round with just 1 rail. See Jamies show jump round HERE. shortly after stadium they headed over to xc warm up. with confusion about start times, Jamie had 2 minutes to warm up! as jamie was walking in warm up the starter was calling her number with 2 minutes until go time! jamie and jules had to quickly pick up, jump a fence, gallop a lap and then they were off! With a clear xc, Jamie said it was one of her crazier xc rounds (Juliet thinks shes still on woodbine sometimes) but they made it around successfully and clear to bring home 1ST PLACE!!!! GO JULIET!!

Jamie also rode Exuberant(Newby) in Training. Newby and Jamie had their best dressage yet (the score doesnt reflect) and an amazing XC round to bring home a fourth place ribbon! GO NEWBY!!

Overall we all had an amazing show and we cant wait to rap up the ontario season with a hat trick victory! See ya there Will O Wind!!
