Fantom and I showed in our first recognized show at Hale Arena March 14-15.  With each test, we
progressively improved in scores and placings.  He was such a gentleman the entire weekend.  On
to William Woods in April!

Fantom and I were invited to participate in a clinic with Michael Bragdell, assistant trainer for Hilltop
Farms.  I was so proud of Fantom--he was such a good boy and everybody fell in love with him.

At the KCDS Awards Banquet in January, Olivia won the schooling show training level reserve
champion.  Good girl!
Fantom settled in very nicely at William Woods, and won Reserve Champion
training level on Saturday, and scored a 65 on Sunday.  We're finally getting
into our groove!


Fantom and I rode in a clinic with David Wightman April 18-19.  I was so
happy that David pushed us--we worked on shoulder ins, renvers, counter
canters, trot lengthenings, and did our first half passes and changes!  David
was very complimentary of both my riding and of Fantom.  We're heading to
William Woods this weekend.  Wish us luck!
Fantom and I rode in a clinic with David Wightman  on
October 2-4.  We have applied for the Dressage
Foundation's GIFTED Grant, and if awarded the grant, we
will travel to California to train with David.  Fantom is now
back from his injury this past summer, and doing better
than ever! We have a lot of fun working with David--I have a
great training team--David and Jonni!
