Success at Albany

Today has been a successful day as Matt participated in the riding course at the Northwest Horse Expo. He placed 4th in the riding course and that landed him a second place finish for the overall competition. He is a point and a half behind the first place position. During the course, Destiny did several nice things. She traveled over the bridge and the poles fairly well. She backed into the pattern well. The great things that she did were the nice stops and a great flying lead change between the figure eight. All in all there are several great trainers at the challenge, and he is thrilled that his mare is doing so well. He has had some great help from a great friend by the name of Wayne Maggard, who is as he likes to call it "fine tuning him." Thanks Wayne!!!!
