Wow! Congrats to you! The Pentucket combined Dressage team was a powerhouse!!

We're so proud of you all! First for being so organized and working so hard to prepare yourselves.

Congrats to Paige B on her fabulous finish at Tet. Rally!

Paige and Pippin attended the out of region Tetrathalon Rally and not only had a great score qualifying them for Championships but had such a good time they can't wait to go again next year.  Paige's overall score was 2883 and they were 9th overall.  In Tet. youmust jump your horse around a technical course then slow down to open gates while being timed.  You then put your horse away, shoot an air pistol, swim and run!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Congratulations to Faith - Great job at Games Rally and she's off to Nationals !   

Senior Team - First Place in Horse Management (only lost 1.25 points in HM over the weekend) and Overall was The Firecrackers. HM made the difference for the win! The girls were truly neck and neck each race with Fast Forward! Whom they practiced ALL the time! There were 5 teams in this division. 

Captain - Faith, with Jack - Pentucket

Additional members of the Firecrackers were from Overlook (2) and Old North Bridge (1).

They also came in 1st in Games overall for their Jr Division. They were awesome! What more could we ask. Our Senior team, the Funky Frogs, which consisted of 3 Pentucket members Mckenzie F, Carly S and Faith P, and 2 Overlook Members Claire S and Britney T, came in 2nd in horse management out of 14 JR/SR teams and 3rd in Games overall for their Sr division. They also won many of their matches against the advanced team. Both teams qualified for nationals but due to prior commitments cannot attend this year. One Jr member from Overlook will be joining forces with Old North Bridge Miss Molly M we wish her GOOD LUCK and we wish we were going too!!!
