Whisper under the nitetime lights in the Dixon Oval -- She qualified for the East Coast Finals for Fillies at her first breed show in Aug, with not just an 81% but also with a Reserve Champion Mare Placing.
Whisper's quality of walk undersaddle is equally as good as when she is free -- scoring as high as an 8.5 this season.
Whisper's trot keeps getting better and better -- only a few months undersaddle with Wanja, her suspension and reach are truly improving with strength. Another eye catching gait for Whisper!!
I was so impressed by her complete focus and uphill balance in the DAD 3 YO Materiale Mare Class that I knew she would do well in her score. So, it was truly surprising to me that she only ribboned 10th with a 73.2%. I went and checked out her score card at the secretary booth and was appalled that the judge killed her average score by only giving the canter a 6.8. OMG -- look at this canter, it is amazing for only a few months undersaddle!!! Although she has 3 super gaits, her canter in this class was absolutely her BEST gait!!! I cannot express enough how fantastic this 3 yo mare is -- She has such a bright future in the dressage ring.
Whisper has a wonderful eye and expression. Very regal.
The choice to team Whisper & Wanja has produced great success.
Scoring an 8.3 on conformation in her age group, the judge wrote "good future for dressage."
I love that this Hanoverian mare gets under herself -- the hind leg is always motivating.
Whisper was the first 3 yo to be presented from her class. She scored a whopping 80.2% to ribbon 4th place in her 3 yo filly age group. I'd say that Whisper certainly started off a great score for Thornridge at Devon in 2012.
Little did we know that our 80% range scores would continue to carry thru for the rest of our horses!!!!
