CFD's 2012 Ride-A-Test with Tina Drake
and
Raswan "Most Harmonious Horse and Rider' Selection

- Article by Susan Croft -

What started as a brisk, cold morning turned into a beautiful Florida winter day. Five riders, six horses, and auditors turned out to brave the day. Tina Drake inaugurated the newly built judge's box at Plumwood Arena. Owner of Plumwood Arabians, Laura Causey, designed the judge's box and pushed her workers to have it finished for our event. Thank you, Laura! After rides were finished, horses put away and tests scored, all participants had a beautiful picnic lunch from Old Crow BBQ. We realized what a small world we live in when one of the auditors has a descendent from Tina Drake's Raswan.

Riders in this clinic were:

Laura Causey & Omar

Stacy Rutledge & Sunny

Mary Robinson & Cavan

Linda Thompson & Judge

Stacy Rutledge & Saxon

Susan Croft & Arrow

At the end of the clinic day, Tina Drake selected the winner of the Raswan Trophy 'Most Harmonious Horse and Rider'. Want to know who won? It’s a secret until our 2012 Annual Banquet and Awards Ceremony on April 30th, 2012. See more info on the 2012 Banquet and Awards night here.

After the rides, the winner of the Rider Raffle was drawn. Laura Causey won the drawning and her choice of color of a breakaway halter donated by Lisa Mousseau.

Pictured below is Lilly in her new halter.

"Thank you all for the new breakaway halter for Lilly from the rider's raffle at the Tina Drake Ride-a-Test. I wanted to show you it fits after adding a few more holes on the break-away! It was a great day-- thanks for everything!" - :Laura Causey
