The IRIDE team had a great showing at the Scenic Flight V Dressage Competition held at the Tri-State Exhibition Center in McDonald, TN on November 20-21, 2020. Three students competed in a clean sweep of First Place Ribbons, Dr. Karen Knarr competed 2 horses in Second Level and Dressage Seat Equitation with some really great scores to win High Score Baroque Horse Award on Empanoso, her triple-registered Spanish Norman Gelding, and also developing the 2nd Level standard with Jelle. Kimberly Wallace added some scores towards her Bronze Bar in the Musical Freestyle at Fourth Level, and Mary and Jelle won the Friesian High Score Award at 2nd Level Test 3. Amber Patterson and Michele brought Amber's just backed Dressage Prospect, Finnegan, for exposure to the show-scene. They also volunteered for Andrea Himel Davenport, the amazing Show Manager. Below, I have included a photo of Jelle and me with his 65%+ test, bue ribbon, and modelling the gorgeous High Score Friesian neck sash.
