Broadfield’s Breed Show

On a VERY hot and humid day we took the new crop of foals out for their first show. Baby sitting the already weaned Arturo was last years veteran Manrico, and Maddalena went with her mom, Augusta.

Augusta was first off to show wining the Broodmare class which qualified her for the mare Championship. (In sport horses the mares are split by whether they are maiden, Yeld, or Brood mares.) Augusta then went on to win the overall mare championship which qualified her for the Regional Cosequin Breeder’s Championships. She also was Champion Mature Horse!

Her daughter by Diego, Maddalena was third in the weanling filly class and very well behaved for her first show.

Arturo won the Weanling Colt or Gelding class and was also an angel.
Manrico was second in the Yearling Colt or Gelding class

The group entry from Regaliz, Manrico and Arturo, won the Get of Sire class with judges comments of “very similar and nice quality.”
Another group class, the Breeder’s Group we were second with the group of Augusta, Manrico and Maddalena.

And no one got heat stroke! Thank goodness for our trailer with fans in it

New England Dressage Association Fall Championships

Augusta:

1st place Bred Mare.
3rd place Andalusian/Lusitano breed class
1st place IRC breed class
3rd place Cosequin Regional Championship

This was a huge placing for any Andalusian! Augusta was third in the mare final only by .2 of a point behind a Dutch Warmblood mare. Her final score was 74.2! This was an incredible honor, just to qualify for the class is exciting but to place well with scores matching the others is just incredible. Go Gussie!

Maddalena:

3rd place Weanling fillies
2nd place Andalusian/Lusitano Breed class

A big placing for Maddy! Second in the large Andalusian class behind an imported stallion by only .4 of a point! The judges just ate Maddy up, very impressed with her poise, carriage and presence. Anne Gribbons wrote “excellent type for dressage” on Maddy’s score card.

Arturo:

5th place Weanling Colts and geldings
3rd place IRC Breed class
6th place Andalusian/Lusitano breed class

Another typical Regaliz foal, Arturo is so quiet and gentle around humans we had a tough time getting him excited enough to really push off the ground and show that amazing trot of his. Arturo was most unimpressed with the trailer running behind him snapping a whip at his heels. Sometimes I wonder if I don’t over imprint these foals….

It’s nice to know it’s there but like his half sister Senta we will have to wait until they are under saddle to really see their brilliance.

Arturo tells Megan he's not saddle broke yet!

Costosa:

5th place Andalusian/Lusitano breed class

2004 Dressage at Devon

Costosa:

3rd place Andalusian/Lusitano Breed Class
6th place Yeld mares 4 and over

Relinquishing her two year streak as winner of this class Costosa with a new handler running her still placed a respectable third out of fifteen!

Kristen DeLuca braids the sound asleep Costosa. She was saving her energy for her next class

Augusta:

5th place IRC Breed class
5th place Andalusian/Lusitano breed class
7th place Broodmares 4 and over

Maddy:

9th place Andalusian/Lusitano breed class

Maddy had finally had it by day three of showing and was too

Bettina Drummond running Augusta

tired to really hold her chin up anymore and strut. Still a good placing for a baby!

Arturo:

7th place IRC Breed class

Arturo was also a very tired baby and we scratched him from the Andalusian class so he could take a nap instead. He remained as well mannered as usual but had no more trot to give so we didn’t ask.
