March 6th - LaGrange 1.20-30m Jumpers - NJ Horse Park

Today was our maiden voyage in the 1.30m... SUPER GRANGE was in action!!!



I was very excited with the feeling I got from LaGrange today. He definitely put his 'best hoof forward'. The NJ Horse Park had some great new jumps! I love the variety that Mr. Allen offers to us for these shows. 'A'+ job for the Woodedge Team!



We did a total of three classes. As I mentioned from the last show I felt LaGrange starting to get bored by the last class.. we changed this for him by finishing with a 1.30m course. He was pretty sharp. He noticed the change and actually smoothed out between the jumps, and actually felt like he was ready to jump and perform. It was a nice feeling. We finished Champion with two 1st and a 2nd.

Since he doesn't put a lot of effort into his jumping, he tends to get a little bored jumping the same things. I know once he gets more comfortable at the 1.30m I'll have the hurdle to get past again...

and the beat goes on!

February - LaGrange 1.20 & 1.25m Jumpers - Dream Park: Glouster County, NJ

We took LaGrange to the wonderful and new NJ Horse Park's facility in Glouster County.

They have a really great indoor show, with nice colorful jumps, great lighting, good footing, and plenty of schooling room to get a young horse like LaGrange ready. I have been riding LaGrange a lot more as he has been getting more and more fit after his time off over the fall. He is starting to feel much more mature and able to focus but I have noticed that by the 3rd class he is bored with the jumps and starts to get a little goofy inbetween fences.

We wrapped up with two first and a third.
