Aiken at Burgundy Hollow Farm Horse Trial

Aiken had a great Sunday (9/28/2014) at the Burgundy Hollow Farm Horse Trial.  He won not only his Starter 1 class but the won the entire Starter division.  We're very pleased with him on this second outing.

His dressage test went well and the judge had good things to say.  Unfortunately the one corner was damp and he slid a bit, resulting in a break in gait.  The judge addressed it in her comments - saying that Stephanie rode it very well, it was a tough choice to make, two strides before a transition and that Stephanie did the best she could, unfortunately it still dropped his score on that element.  The highlight was the halt - a 9! Woohoo.  Overall Aiken scored 8 points better than anyone else in his class in dressage.  Did I mention we were proud?
