I’m finally home and rested! What a fantastic week at our first international show at the CPEDI3* at Rancho Murieta! It was a very brutal show with the incredibly hot weather, but it was a fun week with all the other talented para riders, families, and grooms that were incredibly supportive. I was so proud of Royal for being so calm and relaxed throughout the entire show. He got off the long trailer ride like a pro and settled in easily as he got acclimated to the main ring like he had been there for years. Sabine did an awesome job taking care of him in the heat so he stayed comfortable all week. I couldn’t have stayed as focused without her there. The three of us have only been working tog

It's been a busy few weeks, but I finally have time to catch you up on our busy and exciting times. Royal and I went to the Paso Robles Dressage Classics at the Paso Robles Horse Park a couple weekends ago. It was a bigger show and more traveling for both of us than we've done together, but Royal handled all the activity and commotion like a pro! He didn't bat any of his long eyelashes at anything going around him and remained relaxed the entire time we were there, even with the 20mph winds! Thank you to Sabine for helping me and Royal through this weekend so I had a good show experience. It was great prep for our next show and gave us things to school so we'd be even more sharp for our ride
