Under bright blue skies with a slight breeze, riders and horses are gathered for a small league show in Tulelake, CA. My mounts for the day were Haflingers Flawless WSF and Serpico WSF. This was the first show for Flawless and Serpico’s first show stateside.
Flawless, a green three year old, competed at Intro Level in Test A and B. She was calm, sensible and obedient being so young, green and in a completely new environment. She won both of her classes with scores of 63% and 65%! I am super proud of this upcoming star. Flawless is currently in full-time dressage training. She is so talented and has the potential for any sport horse discipline, as well as trail and pleasure riding. If you are in the market for a highly trainable horse, Flawless could be your girl.

Serpico, a six-year-old stallion, was imported from Germany 3 years ago. He was shown there as a three-year old and has been in dressage training and the breeding shed since arriving in the US. He competed at First Level, Test 1 and 2. He won both of his classes with scores of 60% and 61%!

A final salute!
Both of these Haflingers will be attending the Cascade Dressage I & II show next weekend at Tulelake! Come join us if you can!
