Dear Competitors and their support teams, Friends, Volunteers, Judges: Meghan and Stephanie, and to Kathi our secretary! Thank you for your support and for making it a fun show!<\/strong><\/p>\n

We were once more blessed with one of the coolest days in August! We were doubly blessed by the seven plus inches of rain received just before the show which made our footing perfect!<\/p>\n

Congratulations,<\/strong> to Meghan Markham<\/strong> on her Judging Debut at QRF!\u00a0 Meghan has been working hard at her judging clinics throughout this year. Meghan is a born instructor with a great \u201ceye\u201d and gave lots of helpful comments. I hope that you all read your dressage score sheets and learn from them!<\/p>\n

Ashton Willnow<\/strong> won the Training<\/strong> division on her dressage score 33.6.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Emily Oaks<\/strong> won, not only the Novice <\/strong>Division, but also the lowest score of the day<\/strong> 25.5<\/strong> on \u201cConnell\u201d their first show together after a long layoff. Her daughter Carsyn, 9 won the Pre BN Dressage division 34.5<\/strong> on her wonderful old pony Pooka! The Dynamic Duo!<\/p>\n

Delaney Ryder<\/strong> won Pre BN<\/strong> on The Senator 35.3<\/strong>. This nice quiet young horse is FOR SALE!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Our Tadpole<\/strong> group all suddenly developed their \u201ceventing legs\u201d and chose to ride in the 2\u2019 Jump Start Division. Jaimie Long on her adorable Gypsy Cob,<\/strong> pleaded with mother to be allowed to ride Jump Start and ended up winning the division<\/strong> with a 35.3. Bailey Jones was second. Well done Chamberlain Dressage, you CAN jump too!<\/p>\n

Caeley Melmed received a 34.7 Dressage Only<\/strong> on her young and newly RESCUED horse Brelan and her daughter Marhri 10, competed him in the Intro test with a score of 40.3.<\/strong>\u00a0 He is one lucky horse not to have ended up in Mexico! \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Congratulations to ALL! <\/strong><\/p>\n
