The year continued with farrier competitions with world's largest competition in Netherlands between 11/04 and 13/04. Lauri was 9th in the division 3.
At 18/05 Marja with Ainhoa Patchouli and Lauri with Don Pablo went together to Saint-Beauzile and completed 20 km national. This small competition served nice training without any assistance.
The Soumesac CEI 2* with Master Cruiser and Marja didn't go as planned. They had hard time during the course and sadly Master Cruiser was slightly lame at 3rd gate. However next day Master Cruiser did not show any signs on problems. After the competition we decided that for Master Cruiser it might be best to continue his career in Finland where the competition regime and courses might suit him better.
Nice 40 km competition in Castelsagrat at 01/06 served as good training for Lauri and Don Pablo for the future.
The farrier competitions continued for Lauri in Sweden at 06/06 when the Swedish Championships are traditionally held. Lauri was second in the division 3!
Again preparing for bigger competition Lauri and Don Pablo completed 60 km in Vaissac. Next day Marja and Ainhoa Patchouli completed 40 km also in Vaissac. Really good weekend!
Sadly in following weeks Don Pablo had small injury in his foot and we had to postpone the 80 km competition that we had been training and preparing for.
Very near to us was nice competition in La Croix Blanche at 13/07 where Marja and Ainhoa Patchouli completed 20 km.
Lauri continued in farrier competitions in Norway at 10/08 winning the division 3! No more is he allowed to compete in divison 3 as he has now officially placed to division 2.
In Finland Step Night with Miia competed in Kouvola at 24/08 and completed 68 km CEN. Well done!
Marja and Ainhoa Patchouli continued to make qualifications at 31/08 in Gageac Rouillac where they completed CEN 60 km without problems.
Lauri and Don Pablo was getting ready for bigger competition at 22/09 in Degagnazes 30 km CEN.
Finally at 29/09 Lauri and Don Pablo completed 82 km CEN in Routier. First real step towards FEI qualification. Well done!
Farrier competition in France La Brede was held at 19/10 and Lauri was 8th in divison 2. Good start in division 2 no doubt!
Next farrier competition was in Belgium at 10/11 where Lauri was 9th in division 2.
Last farrier competition was held in Catalonia Spain at 15/12 and Lauri was 2nd in division 2!
During the winter time we have been getting ready for up coming season. Training and preparing continues as planned.
