We have been busy packing up and preparing Gran Casso for our big cross country trip over 1,000 miles from Coupland, TX to Lexington, KY. Martin and I will be attending the World Equestrian Games Dressage Competition Tuesday-Friday and cross country on Saturday. Gran Casso will be staying at a nearby farm so I can keep him fit before heading to Ohio on October 6 for the ISR/OLD 10 day stallion testing. He has been training very well and I feel confident that he is ready to perform!

I will try my best to keep this blog updated so keep checking back! :-)

Congratulations to Gran Casso for getting his certified breeding license from the ISR/OLD on August 25. He put in a great performance on the triangle, in the jump chute and under saddle. He scored 221 points and will be headed to the 10 day stallion test in Batavia, OH this October!

Gran Casso's first attempt at first level test 4 earned him two blue ribbons and SWDC qualification. He was a very good boy and is now qualified for SWDC & USDF Regional Champions at Training level and SWDC at first level.

At the RPSI Inspection on August 30, Gran Casso's two foals out of pony mares, Gambol PSH & Gran Distinction both earned silver premium status and were entered into the German Riding Pony Foal Book!
