Little Bit Farm’s Rashka scoring in the 90s After his spectacular success at the 2007 Stallion Performance Test, where he earned the highest score in the history of U.S. testing, 164.86, Little Bit Farm’s homebred Rashka took some well-deserved time off. At his first show of 2008, Rashka remained true to his early promise by winning all seven of his classes at the May Dressage at Lamplight show, where he was high score of the show with an 80.4%, champion at T4, and reserve champion at first level. With an additional T4 score of 75%, he qualified for regionals at training level; and in his only first level test, he earned a qualifying score of 74.21%. In his USDF Prospects Under Saddle classes, he earned a 91.4% and an 89.6%; and in his USEF four-year-old test, he scored 86.8%. He received many scores of 10 on his canter and walk work, with particular mention of his undeniably 10 canter.
