Join The Dream Team
If you did not already know, I have been given the opportunity of a lifetime to take the reins on this special mare!! Luna is teaching me the ropes on how to correctly and effectively ride FEI. My goals are to earn my USDF Silver Medal and eventually work towards my Gold Medal. With lofty goals comes lofty expenses for clinics and shows. If you are interested in joining The Dream Team in order to get front row seats to behind the scenes training, show access and feel the thrill of dreams becoming fulfilled, let me know!! I’d love to share this experience with you!!

I am finally ready to officially announce that I have been lucky enough to have been chosen to take over the ride on Luna!!!! 🦄💗🌟
I continue to pinch myself and rub my eyes to make sure that I am not dreaming!! Having this ride is going to have a profound impact on my life on so many levels!!
A big thank you to Pat Hough for putting in a good word and helping initiate this journey! Without you this never would’ve happened.
And a big thank you to the Lam’s for giving me this amazing opportunity!! But the biggest thank you of all goes to Lindsey O’Keefe for trusting me, believing in me, coaching me and most of all, sharing this unicorn with me!! When you tell me that I deserve this, I cannot begin to express what those words mean to me!!
This sport takes a lot of luck and even more grit and hard work and this wouldn’t be possible without the small army behind me.
I am literally moved to tears by it all and ready to rise to the occasion!!!
More from day 2 with Lilo last month. We’re getting there!! #goodgirlwish
This was the best way to start my day yesterday!!! Sunshine, warming up Jackson and then teaching @sara_venn on her handsome horse- the little Friesian/QH that could!! There have been some small set backs along the way but we are finally dialing it all in!! Looking forward to piloting this rocket boy with Lilo next week and continuing to develop this horse!!
Hand walker for hire…. We’re still perfecting our skill set but we’re getting close!

More from day 2 with @christinetraurig
Good girl Wish! The canter has always been the biggest challenge and I’m so pleased with the changes in her balance and strength since Lilo in June. ❤️❤️🙌🏼
Part of what makes these cavaletti clinics such a success is getting the groups right and yesterday was just that. Every group was so well matched including this super fun barn crew that hauled out together!! Well done ladies! #chdressage #chdcc #cavaletti #equinepolework #trotpoles

“Pole work encourages your horse to become more rhythmic and balanced, while adding a little interest to your flatwork. It also helps you develop and improve your own eye, timing and balance, as a rider. Many people think pole work is just for those who jump their horses, but it has benefits for horses in all disciplines.Pole work is also very helpful when it comes to strengthening your horse, particularly through the hind end. Pole work is useful for horses coming off of injuries, building fitness or strengthening specific areas of the body such as the stifles. Various exercises correspond well to certain areas or weaknesses in your horse’s body.”[excerpt from an article in Equine Wellness by Isabella Edwards]
The best view!! And my braid job was pretty on point for my first attempt!
Wish’s face says it all! So grateful to have May Valley Holistic Veterinary and Saddlery Services and Peak Saddle Fitting out yesterday for our horses!! We are lucky to have all the knowledge that Thais McCoy brings to our team!!!
We’re almost over the hump with these long nights, yay!!!
So proud of this pair!! You know that it was a good lesson when you don’t want to get off and just look at those elbows!!
