On the 2nd of November, Marlton Lennox and Marlton Enya made their competitive debuts. Both competing in their home environment in Marlton produced lovely quality in their tests and although at times nerves and stage fright got to them, they listened incredibly and accepted the word from Finn, who rode very professionally and positively giving both a lovely confident start to their competitive careers. With nothing more than a single half mark to divide them both, and percentages over 70, it’s an incredible start to young stars careers inside the dressage arena.

One week later both headed off to their first away show, just a short trip from home to Spruce Lodge. Both travelled like they had done this all their lives. Although a little impatient waiting their turns to perform, once off the lorry and allowed to strut their stuff, they certainly did just that! Lennox was first off the mark and aside from a couple of very baby moments he produced some really fabulous and very floatingly expressive work. He won his class with a great score of 72%. Enya who waited patiently to be allowed to make her mark, acted with extreme confidence far beyond her experience and produced a really sweet flowing and relaxed performance for a very good 68% and 2nd place behind her ever expressive best friend! Very excited for these two as we gear them up for their next show this Saturday back at home…
