On Mother's Day Weekend I judged the SLOCQHA Quarter Horse Circuit in Paso Robles, CA with Michael Bednarek from New York.  Designer Don Lehman did his usual excellent job.  This course was very forward with a lot of lope overs.  It was a very rythmic riding course, my favorite kind.  The gate, back and walk overs at the end of the course posed a challenge because the the horses had to be able use fine motor skills after all that loping and joging.

 Last week Allen Mitchels from Indiana and I judged the class this course was used for at the Del Mar National AQHA Show.  Course designer, Ann Dennis, desgined a very forward course that had a lot of flow.  It is another example of Ann's excellent work.
