Delight competes in his first Baby Novice
Event
OPRC Rally held at Tranquillity Manor Farms
Delight made his eventing debut on June 25th in Monkton, MD
when he and Cindy competed in the Baby Novice Division of an
OPRC Rally. The rally consisted of riding a dressage test,
followed by the cross-country jumping phase and the stadium
jumping phase. The fence heights for the division were between
2' and 2'3".
Delight was very relaxed throughout the event and finished fourth
out of nine in the dressage phase. He had a few stops in both
cross-country and stadium phases, so he received no score for
those phases. We still had a wonderful time, however, and
Delight seemed to thoroughly enjoy himself, especially in the
cross-country phase. We're very excited about trying it again in the
near future!

The cross-country phase is fun!
Ringside distractions gave us a little trouble with this fence, but
he jumped it nicely once he got his eye off the judge!
The cutest and sweetest prepares for his dressage test.
Delight canters nicely to the next fence...a stone wall.
A downhill approach to a logpile was the first jump on the
cross-country course.
He was happy to jump the little coop.
