Subject: Rockaway at the fair
Date: Fri, 21 Oct 2011
Great news from the State Fair! Rockaway was really good in the am
classes ! He got 1st in turnout, 1st in working, and 2nd in the
reinsmanship (he was perfect but his mother was first in line for the
individual part of the test and misunderstood the directions) ! I was
so proud of him ! It was his first time in the busy indoor arena and
he was a little worried but rose to the occasion! For the two cones
classes in the afternoon, he was slower than the smaller guys and his
driver, hehe, missed a cone in the pick your own route class !!!!!!!!
He won the Reserve Championship and best of all, won the Concours
D'Elegance !!!!!!! He looked BEAUTIFUL! I bought the disc with the
pictures on it and will send you some when the photographer sends it
to me ! You would have been so proud of him ! An English gentleman was
talking to a friend of mine on the rail and said that Rockaway was
what he has been trying to breed for years !!!!!!!!! He said that he
had just the right amount of knee action and that he could really
lenghten his stride ! Whoopee !!!!!!!!!!!! The sofa backed phaeton
goes with him really well ! Rockaway is my baby !!!!! |

Rockaway went to his first driving show
and got a first and two seconds ? It was all in a busy covered arena
and he was so good. I was going to be thrilled if he just stayed calm
and happy. Also John Greenall, one of the driving gurus, came for a
clinic recently and really thought that he has a lot of potential for
driven dressage !!!!! Yippeeee ! Gail |

Hi Fredericka ! Just wanted to let you
know how well your old babies did at the Classic in the Pines.
Limelight has finally matured into a real show horse !!!! She and Pat
won the Concours D'Elegance and the Gentleman to Drive award, even
beating a gorgeous pair of Friesians. Her movement is amazing ! Lots
of people wanted to know what breed she was ! Bill Long and his wife
organize the event and he said that he wished that he had four of her
! We plan to take her to the Walnut Hill show in August in New York !
We also had a clinic with John Greenall and he really liked Rockaway
!!!!! He is doing so well. I've started riding Brighton Road and am
really excited about his progress, he is going to have that same
wonderful temperament that Rockaway has ! What you breed in, you don't
have to train in ! Hey, where did I hear that, hehe !!!!!! Lots of
love, Gail
