Rolo has found a new best friend. πΆ
Sometimes, desensitizing means thinking outside the box and hopefully saves bumps and bruises down the road
This little colt is going to be so much fun. We think "Cowboy George" needs to work on his equatation, though. π€

We can't believe how fast this summer has gone! Last weekend was our final western dressage show of season.
The best part of showing isn't the ribbons or the scores; it's the people and the fun we have as a team. However, as proud trainers, we still like to brag about our students' successes.
Chris & Mocha got off to a late start at the beginning of the year but finished up with very consistent scores of 64 and 65 in Basic 1 and Basic 3 tests.
Lauren & Tic Toc had the best rides so far and are really starting to become a team. They scored a 70 and 68 in their Basic 1 and Basic 3 tests.
Mikayla borrowed Tic Toc for a ride down centerline in Basic 4 and scored a 68.
Debbie & Rio rode down centerline for 3 tests. They scored 68, 72, and 73 on Intro Freestyle, Intro 3, and Intro 4. We also want to congratulate them on winning Reserve High Point champion! ππ
Martha & Raj made their first trip down centerline at the Western Dressage Twin Tiers show scoring 74 and 71 on Intro 3 and Intro 4 tests. We're very proud of how much you've both progressed in such a short amount of time.

Thank you so much to everyone involved in making Western Dressage at the Twin Tiers horseshow series possible.
Special thank you to the show husband's that help keep us dusted off, fly sprayed, hydrated and fed. We couldn't do this without you! β€οΈ

Every rider has hopes and goals, big and small. As trainers, it's our job, and hopefully, our passion to help our students achieve their goals. For those of you close to Heather, you'll understand how much courage it took to be able to ride her horse outside safely with confidence. πππ
Very proud of you, Heather, and of everything you've accomplished with Cloudy.

Twist the trainers arm hard enough and he'll dress up for a horse show every now and then.
Ryan and Andromeda rode down centerline for western dressage Intro test 3 and Basic test 3 at Sundays schooling show hosted by Cobblestone Equestrian Center. Together they earned scores of 65 and 64. This was their first dressage show together and we are pretty sure its only Andromeda's third time showing. We couldn't be more proud of how well she did. β€
Here are some highlights from their tests.

Finally! After a lot of hard work, dedication, patience and a ton of love Roo returns to the show ring, for his debut with his owner Julie Raymond DeCarlo and his dressage debut!
This was their first trot down centerline together as a team and we couldn't be prouder of their success. Julie & Roo rode Intro C scoring a 73.3 and Training test 2 scoring a 69.1. They also took home a 1st and 2nd place ribbon making a perfect ending to the day. π₯°
