At NVJC the following weekend Fontaine Blue VDL placed 3rd in the Ruby Championship and all the other horses jumped super double clear rounds in their classes. The grounds where great and fantastic courses designed by David Sheppard lead to really good jumping and tough jump off classes. Thanks to the show committees for their hard work!
