Beth Beukema

Mrs. B LOVED Mason!!! She thinks we'll be able to do great things! He's going to have a great stretchy trot! I want to take him to some dressage shows asap!

3 Phase

Email to Courtney. We went to our first 3 phase yesterday at Flatlands!! We did a beginner novice dressage test, a mini log course, and cross rails for stadium. We got a 31.43 in dressage which put us in first place, the spread from first and second was huge. During cross country I made a little mistake and stopped riding right before a ditch. We went clear in stadium. The 1 runout in cross country put us down to 4th. All in all a great day! Both dressage tests I've done I had comments saying what a elegant and talented horse Mason is. I have a dressage lesson tomorrow with Beth Beukema, so we'll see what great things she has to say about him.

Right when I got up to the judges table a piece of paper flew in front of us. Mason was a bit spooked but he was soooo good! It took him a couple of times to convince him that no papers were going to fly in front of him again. I couldn't have been happier with our dressage test!!
Cross country I was so mad I had that refusal at the ditch, I know it was my fault but it still doesn't make me feel good that the first place ribbon was in arms reach!!!! Especially since we had a clean stadium round!
