We had a full house at Loudon over the weekend with a slew of great results! Erika finished on her dressage score to hold on to second place in Open Prelim, a solid run for this lovely mare who is looking to make the move up to Intermediate later in the year. Congratulations to Michelle on your “official!” purchase of Einar (and your second place finish together in OBN!) Just a great weekend for everyone!

We’re looking forward to a great clinic this weekend at the always lovely Covered Bridge Farm!

Not that this should surprise anyone given the weather forecast, but we’re officially moving the clinic to Sunday. Schedule is the same, although a bit shorter due to those that can’t make it on Sunday. We do have 1 open Intro/Elem spot at 3pm if anyone wants to snag that! Just email margaret@mythiclanding.com.

Just wanted to let everyone know that we’re closely watching the weather. At the moment we’re going to plan on Saturday, but … if it becomes clear that the roads won’t be suitable for trailers on Saturday, we will move everything to Sunday. We will make the decision by Friday morning at the latest. 

We have a slot available in the 1:30pm Training+ group. Please email margaret@mythiclanding.com if you’d like to snag it.
