I am always in awe of the journey dressage and horses take you on, but never more so than after a Lars clinic! Lars has a way of honing in on the fundamentals no matter what level you are riding. Straightness, steady hands, and good riding are the goal, with no shortcuts, but without condescension and even some witty quips to keep things lighthearted and memorable! So blessed to have his and Tami’s teaching go so hand in hand and make those ah ha moments happen more often than not!! Truly a wonderful clinic. Thank you Tami for hosting Lars Petersen at Fellowship Farm! Lesha, thank you as always for trusting me with your beautiful Dekadence’s training. I’m so proud of how uphill and balanced she has gotten through the years ❤️

Congrats are in order for AB Wade and her new mount, Nemo!! Aaron and I are so excited to be working with you and this handsome dude at PEC!! Nemo is a German Riding Pony with a huge Insta fanbase back in Germany… and who can blame them with all that hair ✨ Not just a pretty face though - Nemo can handle his own with the big guys with his fancy prancing 💪 Welcome! And so happy for you AB!

✨Team Diva ✨ came with some sparkly swag to show off. Who wore it best?? 🤔

We may not have won in the ribbons and glory sense today, but as far as I’m concerned Diva won by a landslide in terms of navigating the electric atmosphere of this show. She didn’t take so much as a misstep or bat her extra long eyelashes at the multitude of new things she experienced and this being her second show ever! Lesha and I are so proud of you Diva!!

Team Diva is off to a strong start! She had a warmup test today - her first time at first level and scored a 70%. Diva won her class, but the biggest win was having Mario don the DIVA hat while cheering us on!

Gangs all here! Team Diva made it safely to the Virginia Horse Center and she schooled like a pro!

Kelly and Hari made me so proud this past weekend at Pinehurst Fall Dressage! While new to showing dressage, Kelly made some great improvements in her test riding skills. They were a breath (literally less than half a point) away from getting the score needed for being able to show off their beautiful musical freestyle, but we are so close we can taste it! We talked a lot about how mental preparedness in the dressage ring takes practice and skill - most proud of how both Kelly and Hari stayed focused, but calm this trip ❤️

Lesha, I found the perfect hat for Diva’s cheering section at Regionals 🎉🎊

What to do when you need an accountability partner to get to the gym and get moving more? Lucky for Buttercup, she’s got a willing exercise friend in Diva.

Warm welcome to Cadence as she joins us for a few months of summer training ☀️ If you know me you know I love a red mare with chrome 🤩

Cadence is a 5 year old Dutch Warmblood mare owned by Oksana Williams.

Diva kind of blew Lesha and I away at her first Recognized Dressage Show this weekend. She went into the arena guns blazing 🔥 and didn’t just get her qualifying scores for Regionals, but pulled out multiple 70+ tests, our highlight being a 76% from Lilo Fore 😳 (with a 9 on her stretch trot 🥰).

This is the same mare who I sometimes have trouble steering and keeping in the sandbox because she’s too busy looking at a butterfly two fields away! I’m still in shock that she was such a grownup. She woke up and put her big girl pants on for Raleigh Summer Dressage!

Thank you as always to Lesha and Mario Williams for not only trusting me with the care of your horses, but also for coming to support at every show!!

Shoutout to Tami, my coach for getting Diva and I polished a few weeks prior to this. You gave us the extra push we needed to continue with the never ending pursuit of good connection.

✨F is for Fabulous!!! 💅 ✨

Diva has been taking the day to explore the fairgrounds. So much to see at her first Recognized dressage show!! We kept the rodeo to a minimum today so it’s a good start 🤠

Luckily Diva seems to enjoy puddles ☔️ Good thing, because I think they are going to be part of our landscape for a little while! 🌧️

So proud of the baby Diva Royale for winning her first First Level class ever today!! Even after the scary fans tried (but failed) to eat her in the covered arena! Good, brave girl!! 💜
Thank you Portofino Equestrian Center for hosting these fun and well run schooling shows all year - such a great opportunity to get this young horse out and seeing the world in a friendly and low pressure environment!

Lesha, I wish you could have been here to see Diva shine ✨ We can’t wait to see you in a few short weeks!

Feeling inspired watching my coach, Tami Batts, ride with Lars Petersen this beautiful morning! So many useful ideas to be gleaned and I’m excited to take what I’ve learned to my own riding and teaching. 🌟

How cute is this pair?! Getting to watch people learn communication from their horses is one of the coolest parts of this job. Thank you for some awesome lessons yesterday at Portofino Equestrian Center. A+ students!

Deka did 5 changes across the diagonal this morning - twice 🤩 We aren’t counting yet, but that will come! So proud of her!!

Happy Memorial Day Weekend!!

A little delayed, but I had to post about these two horses and their awesome show experience at Portofino Equestrian Center last weekend!!! I’m extremely proud of both of them and am so grateful to their owners for trusting me to ride them down centerline!

Loki, the gorgeous golden boy, owned by Sandra Thompson is working on both his dressage moves, but also his show nerves and boy did he deliver! He got a 70% in his Training Level test and the best part - really gained confidence in the ring this go round. He also won his class 😇 Yay Loki!! We are so excited to see you continue to flourish!

Diva, six year old fancy bay mare owned by Lesha Williams, has also stepped up her game this season! Winning both her Training Level classes, with one 71%, Diva showed us that she is growing up and ready to put on a lovely show ❤️ I know you are just getting started beautiful girl!

Thank you to Portofino Equestrian Center for putting on these awesome schooling shows which provide such a great learning opportunity for these young horses! And thanks to Cassidy and Sporting Services for all the hard work keeping everything organized!

A small snippet of these three’s daily antics. Jelly usually starts it with zoomies and runs around Diva until she talks her into chasing her around the pasture. Poor Buttercup just tries to stay out of their way 😂

Thank you Cheryl of Louie and Company Icecream for keeping this mean old pregnant lady happy during her lessons!! My wonderful students and their horses help keep the cheer in full swing too!! 💕

Diva being so cute at her field trip a few weeks ago 🥰

Cooper and I having some fun and letting our hair down after a long (but successful) horse show weekend!! Even dressage ponies will leave the sandbox to play in a beautiful facility like Portofino ☀️ Aaron Stuckey Hill I think you are starting to rub off on me! 😂
