So I was there, but I can't remember who won, but Molly Braswell was second and Paige Dekko was 3rd or 4th ... (Edited to write that the winner's name is coming to me ... her first name began with an "H" and sounded like a last name of someone famous ... or a character ... or an author?) The course was excellent. It really sorted them out without being cantakerously awful. Off the left lead, circle at the ingate end to an oxer to oxer long 5 stride line away from the ingate and along the bleachers. It was very spooky. I don't know the horses. But there were some acting kind of green, big eyes and all. Then it was a 90 deg bending line to a natural one stride across the short side of the ring. Then turn right following the rail all the way around the end of the ring to a diagonal line towards the ingate end - short three to a long three (can't remember oxers and verticals). Then you turn left to an option in and out/snake fence set symetrically like half of a decagon. There were five panels. Two to choose from going in - three to choose from going out. The open part of the decagon faced the middle of the arena. The middle panel was directly opposite the ingate. You could turn left to the first panel which was parallel to the long side wall and do a two stride to the fifth panel across the short side, or a right bending two to the fourth panel or turn 90 degrees to the middle panel (no one did this). Or you could take a wider turn and go in on the second panel which was on the diagonal then bend two strides to the last/5th panel or two strides to the opposite (4th) panel. People did both of these as well as the first to options taking the 1st panel. I'm not a good drawer with lines. But I'll try to do a Microsoft publisher diagram. From there you turned back right past the in gate back to the same diagonal you came from to a line set parallel to the first diagonal line. This got the most kids. It was a swedish oxer in and a long four strides to a simple vertical a fake grass covered box with two white rails. The distances got really gappy and screwed up a lot of kids. Then a short three strides to another oxer (might've swedish, but not sure). You had to be able to whoa in the first stride. There were a LOT of rails in the out of this diagonal. Then follow the rail on the far end of the arena on your left lead, 180 degree turn to a skinny gate set across the short side. Then about 270 degrees to an identical skinny gate (both were scooped gates). You could take a short way around in between the in A of the in and out and the in of the first diagonal line. Or you could go between the out of the first diagonal line and the in of the second diagonal line. Jumping this gate set you looking directly out of the arena (the far end). Anticpating the left hand turn had a lot of horses hit the high side of the gate. Chad (Chase?) Boggio had the gate down with a slightly questionable distance and let his horse drift left. Everything else was perfect so he got called back in the top group on the flat and was 5th. From the second skinny gate, a left turn to a semi-long gallop to an oxer on the other longside right in front of the judges. _ Edited by Mrs. Malcolm Darcy, Sep 7 2008, 12:21 AM.

Oops ... they did three flat sections. All were w/t/c with a sitting trot. No counter canter. No w/o stirrups. I only saw one person (Molly Braswell) do an impressive reverse (a pretty decent turn on the haunches). One girl moved up from the second group to 10th place. A very nice gray horse. I think her round was pretty good, but must've had a rough spot. Her flat was excellent. The horse was moving nicely forward. She was soft. There was a horse in the top group that moved like an amazing dressage horse. He practically looked like he passaging in the sitting trot (in a good way, she wasn't over collecting). She did a very nice job of sitting his suspension. There was no testing, which I found disappointing considering they didn't do much on the flat. |

i know nothing about juniors or eq riders these days, but that is a movie star/soap character name if I've ever heard of one. I so got the short end of the naming stick. |

You are probably thinking about Eric Hasbrouk, to who Molly Ashe used to be married. |

Too bad there wasn't any testing, counter canter, or no-stirrup work. I was second way back when, and we tested. Had to counter canter the first fence, there was a halt, trot jump, and a turn on the haunch - ALL without stirrups. THEN I had to switch horses and do it all again!!! It was just Neil and I doing the second test, and I couldn't, for the life of me, get Orpheus to pick up the counter lead. I had never ridden a warmblood before and didn't speak German . Must have been 84' or 85'...PS - the irony in this thread- it was Neil Ashe, molly's older brother. PPS - imagine having my name!!! To this day, Judy Young calls me "Saber" and I rode for/with the Young's for several years. Of course, Roger always called me "Big Flats" because that is the actual township I live in.... And I was very, very flat chested...
