Dana and Bucky - 3rd place and AEC's bound

Southern Pines, NC: Dana Norquist has written about her experience at the 2012 American Eventing Championships (held in Fairburn, GA) on her pony, Foothills Waterman (Concord River Roaringwater Bay X Misty Meadows Miss Bonnie ) aka Bucky. Dana says, “My American Eventing Championship recap in full sentences - First I would like to say I LOVE MY PONY!!!!!!!!!!!!! I also want to thank my support crew and trainers!!!!!!!!!!!!

Division - Master Amateur Beginner Novice - 54 Competitors
Dressage - Bucky and I had best dressage ride ever. I was enjoying it so much I had a brain fart and had an error. oops -Scored a 31- tied for 16th with several other people.

“Cross Country – The warm up was a zoo! All I can say is that we jumped all the jumps and toured the course enough that we came closest to the optimum time of the others in the tie so stood in 14th place alone.

“Show Jumping – Beautiful warm up and double clear round!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

“Finished 10th – baby blue – on my dressage score! Got to ride in the Glorious Victory Lap – WHAT A THRILL!!!!!!!!!!”

Dana and Bucky have added no jumping or time penalties to their dressage scores at any of their 2012 horse trials.

 Bucky's first year as an eventer was a Banner year (12/05)

 

The first thing I wanted to say to you all this time is that I LOVE Bucky to death! From the first minute I saw him in Southern Pines, I knew he was the one for me! He is SUCH a BLAST!

 

In addition to the shows you saw in the Region III, newsletter, in September, we won our Beginner Novice Division at the Weave a Dream Horse Trails, and were second in our Beginner Novice Division at Seneca Pony Club Horse Trails.

 

For the United States Eventing Associate Year End Awards (USEA), we finished USEA Area II Reserve Grand Champion Adult Amateur Beginner Novice Division, and for the entire USEA, Beginner Novice Masters Division we finished sixth! Dana N
