Week of October 24: Perfect’s Perfect New Home and Waredaca

Posted by pvos on Oct 24, 2011 in Training Journal | Comments Off

Although we thoroughly enjoy bringing along the prospects, and getting them to shows and horse trials, and really enjoy winning ribbons and being on horses that are highly competitive – the actual point of the exercise is to find them their perfect new homes so that we can start the process all over again with the next batch.

This week it was Perfect‘s turn to leave Tebogo and start his new adventure with his fabulous new owner Mary C. Mary is an adult amateur who rides with Lainey Ashker, has competed to the Intermediate level (on a thoroughbred) and was looking for her next prospect.

She fell in love with Perfect (it’s hard not to, he’s exceptionally sweet) and got along with him great. We wish her every happiness with young Perfect and hope to see them out and about in Aiken this winter.

In the meantime Katie shipped out with her own mare Pandora to participate in their first long format event – the Waredaca Training Three Day. The week went perfectly with Pandora, the five year old, behaving as if he she had been doing this sort of thing her entire life. Katie could not have been more pleased with her mare. They ended up 4th in their division.
