Leo Legacy age 3


Apologies to Sam and Andy for missing their WIN at Mcleans Island on October 10th, I'm becoming a VERY proud mother! Sox had a win and second yesterday at Woodhill in his second only outing and next weekend he's having his fist taste of eventing too (just intro so he can get the hang of it)and apparently Taz had a good time practising x-c at Kumeu, just a bit of a hiccup into the water but it's early days for him in this discipline.
Yesterday I had to judge Rufus which I've always tried to avoid but as I sold him years ago there is not considered to be a conflict of interest. I was very relieved to see that I had Rufus and Anaheim 1st= and so did my co-judge Robin Potter, and we were very close with our marks too.

Congratulations to Alicia and Rufus for winning the Inter 1 at the Bay of Plenty Champs!! Taz had another start at Barge Park finishing 6th out of 30 odd, the jumps are a little small for him now and he took the sj abit cheaply for 1 rail so on to Training level next.
Also I see Andy had and outing to Nelson, he and Sam now live in Christchurch, where they were 3rd in the Open Intermediate HT, so encouraging to see them steadily progress up the levels.


At last Sox is having another outing this weekend, it will be great to see him out, crossed fingers.

update

Foxy has a new home in Cambridge with Annika and they seem to have really clicked which is nice, I shall look forward to regular updates from Annika.
The latest update from Alicia with Rufus is very positive with a win at Showfields in Advanced on 67%, we're really excited about the coming season for them!
Also Taz has a new jockey for eventing and seems to be taking to it like the proverbial duck to water double clears in the jumping phase at both starts and he won his last start on his dressage score! Only pretraining so far but after a start this weekend at Whangarei he will then go Training level. So good to see him showing his talent at last.

Meanwhile the youngsters are growing like Topsy, Cracker (Limonit /Leo Fanfare) will mature around 17hh and is going to be super laid back big boy with superb paces and a soft swinging back, Deedee (Dreamboy/Leo Merrydance) a more compact type and a typical cheeky filly. Then there are the yearlings, Luke, Cracker's full brother and Donna, Deedee's 1/2 sister by Don Quattro who are developing well, such a pity that I have to sell them!!
