I had a wonderful weekend with the amazing Janet Foy hosting the last clinic at Melanie Pai’s gorgeous Bolinvar Farm. Janet was just fabulous and engaging, and her teaching skills and insight were top notch. Thank you so much Janet, and as I head to Nationals this week I will be much more confident with all the help you gave me ❤️

Guess who’s making his first trip to Lexington, KY for the 2024 US Dressage Finals??? Finest Hour BC owned by Andrea Liguori Nuccio is heading to the Blue Grass State to contest the highly competitive Open Training Level Championships against the nation’s top horses. Hotshot also had an auto invite due to his placing in the Regionals, but I opted not to declare him this year. He gave me his best effort to date this year at Regionals and we are going to save our money to train this winter with FEI goals next year. He owes me nothing and has had a few years off from the show ring due to my travels and training and I am just happy that we had a great year back in the show ring. It’s Finn’s turn to shine! ❤️💪🏻🏆🏅

Hotshot and Finest Hour BC competed this weekend at VADA/NOVA’s Licensed show with very solid tests despite not working this week due to me being down with Bronchitis and an upper respiratory infection. So incredibly proud of my “hot” Hotshot for being so well behaved despite not being worked this week, and Finn being a young stallion for working off the trailer and incredibly well behaved and relaxed. Hottie won his class, and Finn was 2nd with a 70+%. ❤️ I’m lucky that I can rely on my friends and the staff at Bolinvar for caring for my horses when I’m out of commission. Thank you Sarah Elizabeth who hacked and groomed Hottie for me, which was a BIG life saver, and HUGE thank you to my best friend and Finn’s breeder/owner Andrea Liguori Nuccio for being the best groom and my emotional support human.

Well it wasn’t the Olympics, but I am still very proud of Hottie for winning the Musical Freestyle Challenge at Michele Wellman’s awesome show at By Chance Farm. He loves to think he’s Glamourdale in his extensions, but unfortunate rider error messed up the changes…. 🫣 Overall though he is feeling just amazing, the balance is coming, and he is really becoming my partner and actually listening “most of the time” to me. This is our third show this year after a 3 year hiatus due to life, and I’m really starting to enjoy being back in the show ring. Thank you to my best friend and groom Andrea Liguori Nuccio and my husband Jeff McLearen who surprised me by showing up to cheer me on and help out and of course to Shannon Lee Dueck who is the best trainer and role model for me, and of course to Sabine Schut-Kery and Debbie Rodriguez for coming to clinic this year❤️

Well we did it…. Our first trip trip around the sandbox at a Licensed Show since 2021. Hotshot was his “hot” self but so well behaved, with no naughty antics! The rider could have chilled a bit too, I may have over rode him in a few instances, and under rode in others and also might have been the backseat driver a few times. But WE DID IT!! Thank you to Michele Wellman for another perfect show to start us off in a well organized and calm environment ❤️ HUGE thanks to Shannon Lee Dueck for her coaching from across the pond and helping me with my confidence, and Andrea Liguori Nuccio is the absolute best friend and groom, and who also talked me off the ledge of scratching last night 🫣

Julianne Grace Brownson

Originally from Canada, Julie moved to Virginia after graduating from Wilfrid Laurier University (Waterloo, ON, Canada) with a Bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology/Physical Education and minor in Biology. She located to Middleburg and immediately started working as an assistant trainer in a professional Foxhunting and Carriage driving stable. Having grown-up riding dressage and eventing, thought this new experience would be fun to try out for a year. Unfortunately for her family and friends, she fell in love with Middleburg, and a local boy. At the end of the first year living in Middleburg, she accepted a job as Head Trainer and Manager of a private barn in Middleburg. Julie stayed at this position for almost 5 years where she took up Eventing again then fell back into the Dressage ring as well. She also exercised at the race track early mornings, foxhunted and taught the owner’s daughters in the hunters and eventing. She was married that first year and in those wonderful 5 years, evented successfully through Preliminary, and earned her USDF Bronze medal.
