Dressage Show

On Sunday Zoe participated in her first dressage show, which is much different than the pleasure shows she has done.  Dressage is a competitive equestrian sport.  The rider and their horse perform a specific, memorized series of moves that much be completed by a certain time once the bell rings.  The judging is very specific and detailed.  Riders receive a score sheet and written comments from the judge, allowing them to work on specifics for next time.  Overall, it was a great success.  Kittery was very focused, responsive and well-behaved....Zoe was too!
