Suzanne arrived back in FL for a great Wed and Thurs lesson before the show. The pair was beyond prepared, but Brisk proved to be an unknown for Sat's rides. He is usually quite up and energetic at the shows, but he was actually a bit lack luster on Sat!! Although the pair had two clean and correct tests they were a bit on the conservative side. So, I broke out the big spurs for Suzanne to use on Sunday. Due to time conflicts, I could not help warm up the pair for their first Sun ride and there were a few bobbles in the ring due to the larger spur....Brisk actually broke in his typical spot-on medium trot!! But by their second ride, the pair was finding their grove with the new spur power and producing respectable scores into 60%. I am so proud of Suzanne and Brisk as they grew together this FL season as a formidable Second Level Pair and are ready to take the Region 1 Shows by storm this spring/summer. Suzanne was so motivated by her FL showing experience she wanted to stay an extra 2 weeks and hit another show in Ocala -- I gave her the look as if to say...."are you for real? it is time to go home!" Congrats and XOXO!!!!
