Another week, another show! This week was Summer Days Show at USET Foundation Inc. Thank you everyone at ESDTCA for putting on a beautiful show and being so accommodating with the para classes! I woke up the first day of the show with a fever and difficulty breathing. The weather this week has been downpours off and on. Fortunately for both my rides the rain mostly held off and El Paso carried me through my tests since I did not have all my energy. We pulled off a 72.2% for our Team Test and a 67.79% for our Individual Test the second day. Each ride I feel more at ease with Taco in the show ring. I couldn’t have gotten through this show without Sara Schmitt. Not only is she an awesome coach,
Paco Taco is a saint! Last week we went to Red Tail Farm to show our Team and Individual Championship Test. Thank you Red Tail for adding the para classes so we could come and ride through our tests! The first day as we were hauling out the skies opened and it started to rain lightly. Of course when I got on El Paso it started POURING. Just as it was time to ride through my test the thunder and lightning came. Taco was amazing and so brave for me. He got scared at one point when I also thought the thunder and lightning bolt was going to come down and get us both, but he just stopped then listened to me when I told him to continue on.

Check out their website for more info. They're even great for dogs! www.enjoyyums.com #horsehealth #paradressage #paraequestrian #equestrian #dressagerider #dressage #horsetreats
El Paso and I went to our first recognized show together yesterday at Suddenly Farm. Thank you so much Suddenly for adding the Para Classes and for everyone there for being so gracious and accommodating. It was a very hot day and super early morning, but Paco Taco was a rock star. With each outing I’m learning how even more special he is and how much more I can push with him. We rode through our Team Test and got a 70.3%! There’s always more to improve on, but I was very happy with my ride and know we can only go up from here. Thanks, Sara, for helping me feel confident enough to go out there with him. Sara Schmitt also took him out and rode him at 3-3 and they received a 69.62% and a blue r
