MARGARET FREEMAN at Cricket Hill
About this time every year, we arrange a “Ride-Critique-Ride” for our dressage riders interested in showing. This year, Margaret Freeman, S Judge, helped riders from Training to Fourth Level. First, Margaret judged a test of the rider’s choice, then gave some tips - perhaps concentrating on one or two movements - on how to ride that test better. After practicing, horse and rider rode the test again to try to improve their score, and they did! Paddy Rossbach, Wendy Luscombe, Lise Gottwald, Palmer Irving, Kristin McLallen, Jane Rodd, Eleni Econopouly, Krys Schrom, Stephanie Kleinbauer, Ann Sanders, Sarah Morgan, Carol Swanson.

SPRING HAS SPRUNG
One way or the other, with a detour through heat, another through frost, spring has definitely made it to Cricket Hill.
Thousands of daffodils, hundreds of tulips - a few with deer-provided flat-top haircuts! - and all the other bulbs join the Forsythia. This one has golden variegated leaves…so once it starts blooming, it looks like it’s blooming all season! Aptly named “Golden Times”.
