Through passion and resilience, we are a successful National and International competition pair with a bright future.

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 l

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

Royal and I had our second show together this past weekend and it was so awesome to see the improvements since our last time together. First of all a huge thank you to Sabine Schut-Kery for helping us get this far in such a short amount of time. It has been so fun working with you and Royal every day to figure out the best ways to make us as strong a team as possible. When we got to El Sueno Equestrian Center on Friday, Royal already felt more relaxed than last time. Saturday

I am so thrilled to welcome Grand Meadows onto my team of supporters! Royal started on Grand Meadows line of Grand Premium Plus right when he arrived and he absolutely loves it. He gets so excited when he sees it coming. Knowing that he’s getting the right supplements each day that helps support his health and well-being to keep him in top shape and fuel better performance for our show season keeps me at ease. Royal always looks great and feels great, too. His coat is shiny a

Royal was a rockstar this weekend for our first show together. As we entered the show ring I could feel him relax as if he knew it was time to shine and take care of me. I couldn't have been more proud of him and grateful for this moment. Thank you to Sabine Schut-Kery for all your support, guidance, and training over the last few months. It's been so fun to watch our partnership grow and develop. Cesar, thank you for always taking such good care of Royal. I never have to

A couple weeks ago Royal and I moved barns. I'm grateful for what I learned at Lehua Custer Dressage and the strong, confident rider I've become, but it was time to move on and further our training. Royal got settled in on his first day here. He was welcomed by Cesar, his awesome new groom, who helped get him acclimated with everything. Cesar has given both of us nothing but the best treatment since we've been here. If I'm not at the barn, I know that Royal is going on wal
