ASHLEY E. WEEMS

COMPETITIONS

Flat Creek, Hogansville, GA

Ashley & Tuxedo did not have one of their best shows here. The dressage portion was stressful for all involved but they still managed to move into 5th place after their dressage & stadium rounds.

Cross country provided one of the rare moments Ashley's had with Tuxedo, a refusal on the cross country course. In analyzing the refusal, Ashley determined the refusal was her fault for not rewalking the cross country course & seeing what it would look like around the time she would be riding.

The shadowing in the late afternoon was quite different & Ashley did not put on sufficient leg to keep Tuxedo from taking a rare opportunity to refuse at a jump. She learned a valuable lesson from this show and still managed to finish in 6th place out of 12 competitors.
