Larkspur, CO: At his very first dressage show, 4-year-old Wildwych Scofflaw ended the day a champion. Scofflaw won the Intro Level with scores of 68.096 percent and 72 percent against a field of both horses and ponies. In addition, the talented half-bred gelding was named Champion Pony of the entire Rocky Mountain Dressage Society recognized show on Sept. 9. Scofflaw is by Glenormiston Flurry Knox out of a rather remarkable grade pony, Phoebe. At 30-some years old, Phoebe is still producing a foal/year! Scofflaw is owned by Karen Laden of Kingswell Connemaras and was ridden by Alison Wilaby, a graduate C3 Pony Clubber.

Lyme, CT: Glastonbury Pony Club ended up in first place at the Connecticut Valley Pony Club's D-Rally that was held at the lovely Lord Creek Farm in Lyme on September 9 and 10. Steph Giola, the team's captain aboard the Connemara halfbred, C.K.C. Katie (Hideaway's Erin Go Bragh x Feather in My Cap), led the way with a nice dressage ride and clean cross country and stadium rounds for the D-3s. The weekend before, the pair won the Junior championship for the 2-phase division at the Randy May Memorial horseshow. Steph hopes to do her C-1 rating on C.K.C. Katie at the end of October.

Meg Brauch and the 5-year old halfbred, Crib Glas Mandolin (Bobby Brown x G.G.'s Dove), won Babcock Hill Equestrian Center's High Point Dressage award for holding the highest dressage scores for the season. Their scores ranged from mid-60's to a high of 69% for Training Level dressage tests. Meg hopes to show the mare at First Level 1 & 2 in October.
