Dec 2011 Pine - Hill Schooling Horse Trial Cool weather at last! Braveheart put in a sterling dressage test with a score of 23.5. He flew around the showjumping for a double clear, then pilot error on cross country cost us first place :-(
Kit finished in second place on his dressage score.
Nov 2011 - Texas Rose Horse Park USEA Horse Trials Texas Rose was to be Kit's first USEA Horse Trial, so Christine decided that after 2 years, it was time for me and Braveheart to get back in action! Unfortunatly Braveheart was a bit 'under the weather' and there wasn't as much 'action' as we needed. I almost withdrew, but instead chose to proceed cautiously.
As usual. Kit looked awesome and we were very proud of him!
Nov 2011 - Welcome Home O'Me! After a year in IL with Marylee McGee, Fossa Queen came home to Deanfield Farm. She has now produced 2 lovely colts by Braveheart, so as she isn't getting any younger, I may breed her to a different stallion next year and hope for a filly!
Sept 2011 -RIP my dear Baldrick Very sad to say goodbye to faithful friend and companion Baldrick, the first four legged resident at Deanfield Farm.
Sept 2011 - Boyd Martin Clinic As Christine was competing on her own horse, I had planned on taking Kit to the Boyd Martin clinic. However, due to an 'escapee' incident the day before, I missed the stadium day but was able to join the cross country day on Braveheart. We had a lot of fun and even managed to drop a stud card in Boyd's helmet ;-)
