Dressage Canada Eight Award

Yesterday I received the Dressage Canada Eight award. During the summer I received 8 times an eights in the collective marks for "rider position". It is a nice pin that will go on my show jacket. It's very nice to be recognized for that. The program started last year and only a handful of Canadian Dressage riders have received the pin thus far.

Several weeks ago Dressage New Brunswick awarded me the Lieutenant Colonel James Kupkee award. This is an award that recognizes a horse and rider combination for an oustanding show season. I received a nice plaque that I may keep for a new year. Also, they awarded Whiscalina and I with "First Level National stall plaque" for receiving 4 scores above 60% from 4 different judges as well as an "Out of provice Award"

It very nice to receive this recognition and Whisca and I are looking back to an amazing summer.
