REBECCA FARM

Connie and I went up to Kalispell and took in the "Event" at Rebecca Farm.  The Event is three full days of eventing - dressage, cross-country jumping, and stadium jumping.  What a show!  We were there a couple of years ago with Doug and Rita to watch Rita's friend compete.  This year we watched Rita's friend plus Rita and Connie's riding partner's daughter Madison compete as well as watching a couple of horses that Rita bred and raised at their place.  So there were some great connections while we were there.  And what a great place they have there at Rebecca Farm.  It is very pretty, well maintained, and you can tell the pride in which the folks who run it take in it.  This is their 15th year of competition.  I will make a number of posts on the event.  This first one is just of the first day with some dressage and cross country.  Click on any picture to enlarge.

Look at that smile after finishing her dressage competition.

This is a sequence of Madison and Finn of one of the jumps in the cross country.  Finn really likes to check out the jumps as you can tell by his ears.
