Our good friend Amy Hagstrom made us a very generous offer last month…she took Misty to her home and worked with her under saddle and in hand for a month in preparation for the SAFE Show. Amy’s hard work with this lovely young mare was showcased this past weekend as Misty got her chance to shine. Here’s a report on the weekend from Amy, and some photos of Amy and Misty in action.

I had the honor of showing SAFE horse “Misty” and she was a star. She won her first intro dressage class with a score of 77.5% and the judge’s single overall comment on her second test was “Lovely!” 🙂 Misty also placed 2nd, 3rd, and 4th in a combination of the 3 Western and English halter classes she entered. 4th in trot poles equitation. And I was really happy with her in hand and under saddle performances in trail class… backed softly and respondingly thru the “L”, over the tarp, thru the gate, by shiney tubes, thru pool noodles no problem! Her newfound turn on forehand and haunches skills came in handy. I didn’t hear if she placed in the trail classes, but in my mind she was a winner. 🙂 And I can now says she bathes, clips, loads, and hauls nicely. Misty has such a nice level headed mind and is becoming a great all around horse… her future owner is going to be a lucky one.
