Through the 2007 Dressage show season, Gyco competed at the First Level, Test One and Test Three. He did very well in these shows, always finishing high up in the ribbons.
His best achievement was Reserve Champion Adult Amateur in First Level in the MICA dressage competition in June.
At the CHHAPS Pacific Canadian Horse Show held in Maple Ridge, he was Show Champion. There were about 40 Canadians in this competition -- about 10 of them stallions.
At the fall Mane Event in Chilliwack Gyco was front and centre in a special evening demonstration in front of about 10,000 spectators. He opened the CHHAPS part of the show with Jen carrying in the Canadian flag and then performed a Pas De Deux with his son Montanna wowing the crowd.
Gyco was once again part of the Silver Spurs toy ride. Some 30 horses being ridden through Parksville to collect toys for Christmas for some of the local needy kids.
And now we Jen and Gyco are getting ready for the 2008 campaigns.
