| A HUGE "Thank You" to everyone who came to ward off the winter blues! Our first Baby Brigade Games Day was a great success! The first half of the day we played Pony Club Style games. Five dollars of each entry went into a pot and the top three point earners after ten games split the winnings! After a lunch and break for the horses and riders, we continued the day with our Almost Dressage classes. We had so much fun switching horses and showing off our worst attempts at a dressage test! |

| Besides the variety of cross country jumps, we also worked on pacing and riding the various cross country speeds, we negotiated the water jump, and we rode over banks, ditches and terrain. Aspen Ridge has a great course for schooling! |
