Sandra audited Session "C" of the USDF "L" Judges Program in Goshen, NY. Deanna Thompson, a close friend and Academy student at Isaac Royal Farm, is participating in the program to become a dressage judge. Sandra needed to audit the program to fulfill requirements for the next level of judging. The instructor for the weekend was "S" USEF Judge Lois Yukins. Lois was one of Sandra's original judging instructors and testers in the Maine "L" program.

Check out the wonderful article about Marsha Hartford-Saap and the Mustang mare Onyx from the Tallahassee Democrat newspaper. Marsha and Onyx were in 2nd place after the second day of competition and made it to the final freestyle event. All the scores are then wiped clean and all the finalists show off their horse's strengths. Marsha rode Onyx in a beautiful costume donated by the Isaac Royal Equestrian Theater. They ended up placing 5th overall and Onyx was adopted by a local woman who will be able to continue working with Marsha. Awesome job!
