Kathy Massey of Massar Stables in Arlington, Tenn. wrote about the show: “The 2018 National Dressage Pony Cup held at Lamplight in Wayne, IL was a wonderful show to attend. The grounds are beautiful with vibrant colors from the flower beds in mass. There were seven rings running all day with outstanding horses and ponies. Musical freestyles ran for hours each day. Caitlyn and Zoey came home with a Champion Ribbon from the FEI Pony Test. I thank Kirsi for coaching and DeAnn Gabrick for being our support person and cheerleader. We all had a great time despite rain and cold (yes, cold in July) and were glad to see the occasional breaks of sun. This show continues to grow with over 225 ponies entered this year and the additional Small Horse division and breed show, plus an open show at the same time.”
