Miss Pamela and Leslie Bean competed at Miss Pamela’s first USDF horseshow with much success. Miss Pamela placed first in Training Level Test 3 with a 67.8% and place third in Training Level Test 1 with a 64.2%. Miss Pamela had no issues fitting into horse show life or the atmosphere at the Georgia International Horse Park. She was cool, calm and collected!
Leslie and Miss Pamela rode in a clinic with Dutch Grand Prix rider and trainer, Ron Smeets. Ron Smeets started his riding career training with Sjef Janssen (trainer of Anky van Grusven, who is currently training the Dutch Dressage Team). He spent his early career showing for Holland in many different international competitions. Ron worked with Leslie on creating more movement from behind through a true shoulder-in, spiraling trot circles and being connected with both the inside and outside reins.
Miss Pamela continues to strengthen and progress in her dressage training on a daily basis. Her owner, Moira, she thought should be sure that she was used to all the “strange sounds” she might encounter at WEG. She purchased a “Spookless” CD from Clinton Anderson’s Down Under Horsemanship and played the CD for Miss Pamela, her sister and mom…..It blew their minds!!!! Hopefully, no one brings any pigs to WEG’s Equine Village to see the demonstrations …. Miss Pamela might turn and run right out of the park! 
Look for Leslie and Miss Pamela performing Dressage demonstrations as part of the Irish Village at the World Equestrian Games.
