Waredaca Starter Trials

There’s nothing better than consistency and hard work on display at a great weekend’s event! Freyja was second after dressage (at her second event only, and first BN!) but had a bit of a green moment on cross-country to drop down in the placings. And TEX — 20 this year and still going strong!! Emerson sat in FIRST after dressage which is just huge, and a testament to how hard they have been working on their dressage. Well done everyone, and thank you Emerson & Addison for the video!
