Zahradka Portrait of Godiva

Local artist, Gary Zahradka, recently completed a beautiful oil portrait of Godiva. His detailed portraiture captured her expression with remarkable clarity! For human, animal, and representational portraiture, his work comes very highly recommended -- check out the Zahradka Art and Illustration website to see more of his artwork.

Otter Creek Fall Dressage Festival

Yet again, we had a fun and successful fall festival! Godiva helped Janna earn her remaining silver medal scores and FEI high point award at the show. Janna's student Sally also earned the overall high point award for scoring 70% aboard Vegas, showing 1st and 2nd level. With six horses from Chinnock at the show, finishing first or second in all of their classes, we had much to be proud of. The horses had a fun time being there as a group, and so did we, celebrating Juliet's birthday and enjoying wine and cake the first night! (The horses had sugar and apples . . .) Despite a bit of rain and chilly temperatures, the show atmosphere was warm and congenial, thanks to the Warners and the show staff. Check out a few photos from the show:

Otter Creek Fall Dressage Festival

Godiva and Janna showed FEI Prix St. George at the beautiful Otter Creek facility, and earned scores of 62% and 65.8%. Not bad for a 20 year old (horse, that is . . .)! It was a fabulous weekend -- thanks to everyone for helping out! Check out photos from the show and a video of our Day 2 Prix St. George test.
