Wendy Masemer and Likolina finished off a great fall season with a big win in the mare's second preliminary level start at the Virginia Horse Trials (Oct. 30th - Nov. 1st). They also had a respectable 7th place finish at Morven Park in the mare's first preliminary competition with a second in the dressage phase, a double-clear show jumping round, and added only 14 time faults on cross country. This talented pair will be out and about in 2010, and plan on aiming for the CCI* at Virginia Horse Trials in May. Congratulations, and best of luck for the spring season!
