Dressage competition in South Africa

Wow, the drive to the event was 4 hours, but it was fantastic to take in the remarkable landscape. What a treat and how expansive: beautiful mountain ranges, open grazing lands, and rolling hills--and most of it green and lush. Another bonus is to take in a dressage show as well. There were many lovely ponies and a diversity of horses. It is a real credit to the dressage community that people drive such a distance and hold an event with so few entries. Gerti was riding the highest level at the show and did a great job with both her horses, a young horse (not pictured) and a more advanced horse (pictured.)
