Bromont

Family support—my parents, Jo and Dick, and sister Kris.
I keep thinking that I’ll get better about doing these updates, but life gets in the way. All spring, Lisa (Apted), Sara (Shulman) and I worked toward our planned trip to Bromont. As an event, Bromont never disappoints! If you want an amazing competition to go to with an incredible facility that’s in a different, foreign-feeling country, with the best area restaurants, I highly recommend it! I feel that if you’re going to try and develop a horse into a five-star eventer, Bromont is the best education and test. The combination of the terrain and the level of the courses really helps horses to get better at their job. The courses show where your strengths and weaknesses are. 

Lisa, Sara and I were all pleased with our horses. Storm was the best in dressage yet, and although that will always be a weaker point for us, I was thrilled with him. Cross-country, I had a little trouble with my watch so didn’t go as quick as usual. In hindsight, I could have set him up a little less for some of the combinations in the beginning, though I thought I did a great job at the end of the course. My horse was amazing and came out of the cross-country easily. Storm tried really hard in the show jumping, too, but unfortunately I was too deep to a couple jumps so had two rails behind. It was not the result I wanted but I’m certainly super proud of him. 

Lisa did a great job with her mare and although she still has work to do (like all of us), she really stepped up in her execution in all three phases. Again, maybe not the result she wanted, but she did a great job. And Sara, what can I say? She won the under-25 and I couldn’t be prouder of her. 

As far as the rest of the barn, we’re working on dressage and show jumping and enjoying the summer heat. I just moved Storm up this past weekend and I will update soon about his Advanced debut, I promise!
