19-20 - Flora Lea Horse Trials - Medford, New Jersey |
| After two weeks of competing in a row, the
upper level horses got the week off and Courtney competed at the
Training and Novice Levels instead. She had good rides on Irish
Watercolour and Raven, with each finishing just out of the ribbons.
Other members of the team made their 1st outings of 2003, with Neal
competing in Training on Hanna and Patty Moshanko competing at Novice on
The Color of Kells. Neal rode a good dressage test and added just
a little time on cross country and a clean stadium round to finish
8th. Patty had a lovely dressage ride and a wonderful cross
country. Unfortunately some trouble in stadium jumping kept her
from a fantastic finish.
