Sonesta Farms First Dressage Schooling Show a Huge Success!

Gorgeous weather, friendly people, lots of volunteers and 58 rides made our first dressage schooling show a rousing success! Thank you to all the competitors, owners, volunteers and our judge for making this first show a lot of fun for everyone. We especially were pleased to have Brian Powell, a local hunter/jumper trainer show up with many of his students and young horses to let them see what dressage is all about. Brian says they had a great time. We look forward to seeing everyone back for the next show on October 30, 2010.
