Sterling was in training with Sarah Lockman. At his first dressage show he scored a 71.1% for training level!
As 2014 came to an end, Sterling qualified for the Calif Dressage Society Championships for First Level. Had it not been for an error on my part, Sterling would have won the 2014 USDF All-Breed Award for First Level. Unfortunately, though he did 8 classes with 4 judges, I miscalculated and did it in 3 shows instead of the required 4. I realized this with 2 wks left in the show season and no time to throw in that extra show. Sterling is now back home and will do the occasional endurance ride, but I will now concentrate on the mares and his offspring.
