Thank you, we got second in the pony division :aktion033: ! He had the best dressage score (a forty) but of coarse we got our butt kicked in the hazards competiting against the ponies (although he did have the second fastest time out of ten or so ponies) Here is some pictures of hazards. At the pleasure show the next day we won our cones division beating a percherion pair, a horse, and a pony in a very challenging course in time and penalities. I have found out that he LOVES cones, he just eats the course!

Congratulations, a 40 is very very good! What test did you do? There's no "of course" about it in the hazards, one reason they created the VSE division was because the pony people were getting sick and tired of being beaten by the minis!

: Our shorter turn radius and greater room to maneuver tend to make us much more agile and therefore quicker.

I don't know what it is about cones, but they just love them! I think it's because the horses themselves can clearly see the goal and so participate fully as much as we do. Are you hooked on this sport yet? :bgrin

I'm also curious like Ritz-C about what brand your harness is.

Edited to add: Nevermind, sorry.
