This is everything!

True dressage riders don’t just build on movements—they build relationships. The trust for that comes from consistency, fairness, and patience. It’s earned in quiet moments, in the daily routines, in how we show up for our horses when no one is watching.

Because in the end, when a horse truly trusts their rider, they give more than just movement, they give their heart. And that’s where real dressage begins.

The Palm Beach Dressage Derby at the is a favorite of mine! Franco 32 was his stellar self winning all three of his classes with a 77.2% at T-3 (highest score of the national show), 72.2 and 72.9 at First 1. It was fantastic getting all 8’s for the collective marks from the mighty Lilo Fore! Thank you to Ginny Whitaker for the super new bridle- it was our lucky charm.

Yesterday’s win and personal best in the CDI2* with a 66.5% on Bunny was definitely a career highlight! Getting solid scores in the piaffe and passage from all 5 judges was my goal and we did it!! It was the best I-2 we’ve ridden to date.

I am so proud of my horse and grateful to have him with me on this journey. He’s taught me to trust the training and to trust myself. Thank you to every person near and far who always support us. Loved the high five with Mallory Sensenig after we heard the score ❤️

In spite of Princesse digging up her clay based stall at the Sweetheart Cup, we still managed to persevere past the red 🤦🏼‍♀️ and score a 73.6% in Training Level 3. She secretly wants to be a chestnut!
