International Dream Program

June 1 I summited an application to the Dressage Foundation hoping that I would be one of four chosen to travel to Europe to observe great riding, training, and competition, and this week I heard back… I was picked! All I can say is, thank you to the Dressage Foundation for selecting me to go on the International Dream European Tour!

The opportunities I have had in the equine industry never seize to amazing me, and I have found that if there is something you want to do, you might as well give it a shot. If you don't make it, at least you know you tried, and if you do… Well, it feels pretty amazing!

Thank you again to the Dressage Foundation and to everyone who supports me. :)

Adagio's First PSG

I am lucky to have had the opportunity to grow up with and train a German Riding Pony who has taught me many, many things. His owner has always been more than supportive, and the two of us have loved watching as the pony has grown up, finally settled into his own.

So, it was a proud moment today as I piloted him through his first PSG test. Of course, silly mistakes happened, but none that cannot be fixed. And for a pony who has struggled learning flying changes, he did a great line of fours! There is nothing more rewarding than teaching horses and having them feel proud of themselves. I feel so thankful to have this little guy in my life!
