National Dressage Pony Cup 2013

Clinic wrapup is coming, but first, a little family bragging a la Alanna:

Picture is from 2011 I think.
Castleberry's Delight, Connor's full sister, is the 2013 Third Level AA Dressage Pony Cup Champion!  This follows NDPC Championship wins at 3rd Level and 1st Level in previous years, and a USDF All-Breed Award at Training Level.  Way to go, Delight, and congratulations to Winterlake Tristan as well, a Welsh Cob whose NDPC results Alanna wrote about here.  Go Cobs!

I can't say enough good things about the National Dressage Pony Cup! We met the greatest people and saw the most wonderful ponies! I don't think I've ever seen to many ponies gathered in one place before. I can't wait to go back next year and know several ponies to cheer on!
Of course, I'm just as excited to now be riding a card-carrying pony and NDPC Reserve Champion in her own right! Go Ponies!!
Will you be joining us next year? ;)

I saw a picture of Castleberry's Delight competing that Cardi's owner took. She's beautiful and I didn't realize she was Conner's full sister. Too cool!

I haven't seen a photo of her competing, so I went to stalk Cynthia's Facebook after I saw this (I'm not friends with her, but I think Connor's breeder is.). How cool, thanks for letting me know! Her neck has totally changed shape.

I saw her too and wondered if she was related to Connor! I wish my 'pony' was eligible :(

Wow!

She looked really good in Cindy's photo. That's really neat that Connor has a full sibling out competing (and doing well). Emi has two full siblings but one is 3 and the other is 2...so not competing yet.
