Kelli and her students earned many awards at The Charles River Dressage Association annual awards banquet held on Feb. 9th 2008. Kelli was First Level Open Champion on Liberty(owned by Kathy O'Leary) and was third on her own horse Legend. Kelli also won the Open Overall High Score Championship with Monty Python, (owned by Sharon Anderson).  This was Monty's very first show season,  so everyone was very excited, especially Monty's owner Sharon who earned her own share of awards, including being the Champion at AA Tr.Level 1&2 and the winner of the Vintage Award.  Also taking home an award was Kelli's student Jill DiGregorio who won the AA Tr. Level 3&4 Championship on her gelding The Real McCoy.   Kelli would like to congratualte all of her students on their successes and she is looking forward to this years show season too.

Jennifer Baumert Clinic-April 26 & 27

Jennifer Baumert will once again bring her talent to Letter Perfect Farm on thurs. April 26 and friday, April 27.  As always, we feel very fortunate having Jennifer come to LPF to share her exstensive knowledge of dressage training. Jennifer is coming home from the florida show circuit and is sure to help all of us with good tips on riding the new tests.  Contact Kelli at kelli@letterperfectfarm.com  for information about participating, or call 508-278-9905

LPF Updates It's Footing

Letter Perfect Farm has recently upgraded it's footing in their indoor arena. After seven years, we felt that although our footing was good,  it could be better.   After an extensive look at the different footings on the market,  we decided to go with a relatively new product called Hoof Cushion.  Hoof Cushion is a sand, rubber and fiber mixture created by Custom Equstrian Footing. They have developed  it to actively recover from the impact of the horse’s movement. Their  footing blend is used to eliminate the problem of ruts and instability in the footing. The fibers act as a “root-system”, stabilizing the footing and wicking moisture down from the surface. The rubber-sand blend is a springy base material that is natural to the horse and adds cushion but not rebound. The horses LOVE IT!  LPF will also be updating their outdoor as well.  It is sure to be ready by their first show, June 2. We hope you will come check out our new footing at our clinics and shows. 

LPF 2007 DRESSAGE SCHOOLING SHOW DATES

Letter Perfect Farm will host 3 schooling  dressage shows again this year, offering classes from Leadline to GP and musical freestyle.  Our dates are:   June 2, July 14 and Oct.13.  Judges will be announced.   All shows will be held on Saturdays,  and the closing date for each show will be the Saturday before the show.   Show times will be emailed to competitors and posted on our website the Thur. before the show.   We hope to see all of you there.

5/3/05 Finally Some news!

LPF show dates are finalized!!    We will hold our first dressage schooling show Saturday,June 4th.   The judge will be Jane Sheehan "r".  We are offering a new division this year,  which is a Green as Grass dressage test.  Basically this is for children that are ready to do a little more than lead-line,  but not a whole USDF Walk-Trot test.   If you would like a copy of the test,  just email me at Kelli@letterperfectfarm.com.    Another thing we are offering new this year,  is schooling time at our farm the day before the show.  For $25.00,   you can come school your horse in our rings and around the property.  For $50.00,  you can do a ride~critique~ride,  with Kelli Mason"L".   You must sign up in advance for either of these opportunities.  Just fill out the Friday Session part on your enty form and send them to me.  For just schooling around property,  you will get a general time to come,  for ride~critique~rides,  you will get an actual ring time.  If you have a time preference,  you need to let me know. 

Kelli Had Knee Surgery!

On April 7th, Kelli underwent knee surgery.  She had torn her ACL ligament in her knee and her meniscus at some point last summer,  but it wasn't a horse related injury.  Kelli's recovery is going well,  but it will still be at least another  month until she can ride. Right now she has to wear a brace that starts at her thigh and goes all the way down to her ankle.  She is however able to give lessons,  and do some barn chores.  Kelli will be teaching a Freestyle Clinic in RI in May,  and a clinic out in NY in June.  Her whole barn staff has been very supportive and very helpful,  which will only  make her recovery easier. 

LPF holds clinics with Jennifer Baumert and Jeanne McDonald.

In March of 2005,  CRDA had a clinic with Jeanne McDonald,  which was hosted by LPF.  Although a major snow storm kept more people from participating and auditing,   seven people enjoyed Jeannes wonderful and ensightful lessons for two days.   Jeanne brings with her the experience of training 3 horses to Grand Prix as well as training young horses,  the knowledge of being a USEF "S" judge,  and her training wisdom of working with some dressage greats like Carl Mikoka,  and more recently Sue Blinks and Debbie MacDonald.  She is a walking and talking information goddess that has a story and experience for everything.  Jeanne not only makes the complicated understandable,  but her positive attitude, keen eye for details, and vivacious personality helped every rider use thier seats and aids in a better way to communicate with their horses.  We are looking forward to having her back as a clinician soon,  and Jeanne will be judging our last schooling show on Oct. 29, 2005. 

In April of 2005,  LPF hosted another clinic with Jennifer Baumert.  While Kelli was off in florida,  resting her leg after surgery,  Kathy O'Leary organized the clinic with Jennifer.  Riders in the clinic gained valuable knowledge while riding with Jennifer,  who spent the winter in Florida training with Conrad Schumacher. Jennifer was very impressed with all of the riders who attended the clinic and will be coming back  to LPF soon, especially if Kathy is cooking!!   LPF gives a big thanks to Kathy and Jennifer for going ahead with the clinic while Kelli was away.
