In the final horse trials of the year, Courtney and Neal competed in this
one-day event. Neal and Hanna competed at the novice level in their
first outing for several months. The pair had their best dressage
test in quite a while, and together with clean cross county and stadium
jumping rounds, finished in 2nd place. Courtney competed with Lord
Robert at the preliminary level. They had good performances in all
three phases, with Courtney taking her time on cross county to school
"Bob" as they work towards a continued improving foundation for upper
level competitions in 2006.

As has been the case all year, Kathy Bell continued to lead the National
standings, winning the year end championship at the Novice Level
(leading the Junior division, in addition to having more points than the
Senior and Master division competitors). Kathy competed most of the
year on Snowy, who ended up in 2nd place Novice Horse standings, with
seven 1st place finishes. She sold Snowy in October and continued
her success riding her new horse, Toy Master, with whom she won her last
two events. On the regional level, Much More, earned Reserve Champion at
the Preliminary level in Area II. With Courtney riding, the pair won
several events. |
