Even in tough economic times and other shows are having to close their doors, the Gayla still had a waiting list.
This year Rachel Niceley showed her pair of Georgian Grande mares for the first time at the Intermediate level. I navigated for her which meant taking on the challenge to learn 7 hazards with 5 gates apiece. That is 35 gates to remember, which is tough for someone who can't remember anything.

I believe that Sunday was Odessa's first true trail ride with creeks and logs and stuff to negotiate and she was great. I think it helped that she was madly in lust for Will, the gelding TJ was on. She had a pitiful wanting look on her eye the whole time and would nicker softly if he got too far away from her and she squatted and peed about 5 times. She was pitiful.

Odessa is home from 45d at an Eventing barn where she was away from Darwin and getting some riding experience. She will continue her training at Woodsmith Farm with a lot of ground work in patience, standing and bending.
