LAST GVDS DRESSAGE SHOW OF THE SEASON Posted October 15, 2011 This weekend marks the final Grand Valley Dressage Society dressage show for 2011. It will include championship rounds for the season on Sunday. I was out to shoot some photos of Jim Farmer and his horse, Isabell, for a Nov. 6 article in Horseplay in The Daily Sentinel about Western Dressage. Jim and Isabell were the only competitors in that division this weekend, but they're hoping more people will take it up next year. By the way, the extended covered arena at Mesa County Fairgrounds is wonderful
for a variety of events, such as this weekend's dressage show. But it sucks if you're a photographer trying to get well-lit
photos of an event.

THE HUNTING GROUNDS Posted October 11, 2011 Moose and I enjoyed a nice ride with members of the Grand Mesa Back Country Horsemen Saturday, October 8, on the Hunting Grounds. This is BLM land that is south of Highway 50, across from the Kannah Creek Road. It is part of the Dominguez-Escalante NCA. The day started off chilly and blustery, as the photo of Penny and Mark indicates, but it ended up being very nice by midday, and the view was spectacular, as the second photo shows. Jan Potterveld led the ride. Thanks to all for a being so welcoming to a relatively new member of the group.
