PSEC Florida Trip Report

All too soon, the annual Pendragon Stud Equestrian Center trek to Florida has come full circle. Having left on February 6th, they arrived home on March 17th. Rocket, the Wilaby’s mini, was taken with the big boys (and girls) when they left but didn’t come back to Colorado. Ali met Laura near Ocala to take him to his new home. We will miss his fun and humorous little self terribly at the farm. That left a trailer spot open to bring home Camelot, Team PSEC’s adopted horse you may have received my email about. We (and I’m sure Camelot, too) are grateful to the Wiedenhues family for giving this special guy the loving home he deserves. One of the purposes of the trip was to test those horse and rider teams moving up to Preliminary level this year. They include Lynden Fasso & Dene Court, Ellie Gilbertson & Idle Belles, Madeline Backus & P.S. Arianna and Kala Robbins & Rhythmic Drum. Reports are that they all did very well and look solid and confident. In addition, Madeline competed P.S. Irish Treasure at Preliminary for the first time, finishing 1st in the Rocking Horse Derby and 6th in the RH Spring Horse Trials. Many thanks to Jerry and Sandy Fasso for all of their help and support on this trip. And of course, to our fearless leader, Laura Backus.
