Schooling Show at Oakdale Farm in Powhatan, Virginia
On the weekend of March 18th, Oakdale Farm hosted a schooling show for dressage and combined training. Many of my students tested their skills at the next level higher than they were working on last year. Jody Swartz and Cheryl Painter moved up to first level. Bill Hartenstein showed Prince at training level and worked on their collective show nerves.

Joan Poskey brought her newly purchased horse, Moseby and exposed him to his first dressage show. Sandra Cox rode That's That at training level, always improving their dressage work.
