JULY 2009

Song 'n' Dance, 2008 jet black Hanoverian filly by Sinatra Song out of Rosentanz, blossomed in the last month and was pulled from the pasture the week before the show. Sergio Licea did a fabulous job working with her to prep her for the show. She is such a fast learner and was so well-behaved. A little tense on the first day, she came in third in the 2008 filly class with a very respectable 77.3%, but on the second day she was very relaxed and placed first in the fillies of 2008 class with a 76.1% which was the second highest score of Show II (her half brother was high score)! In the Filly Championship, she was named Reserve Champion filly! The judges' comments for her conformation were: "smooth body, well set neck, nice slope wither and hip, smooth over loin"; "modern type...good length neck, feminine expression; well connected topline, good shoulder position." In the walk she was "supple, nice use of topline, clear rhythm." In the trot "nice engagement and lightness." "All over good dressage potential." We couldn't have had such a successful show without the preparation and handling by Sergio Licea and Conception Ramirez.
