Middle Tour Championships: Day Two with my absolute horse of a lifetime. 🩵✨
What a way to finish our championship—Dinky was incredible under the lights tonight to place 5th in a top-class Freestyle class!
Riding down the centerline at this beautiful venue, against such top-class combinations, has been an absolute privilege. This championship is incredibly bittersweet for me, as it will likely be our final major championship show together.
I have owned Dinky since he was a raw two-year-old. Over the last ten years, he has been an absolute joy to produce, giving me everything he has and taking me all the way to the Grand Prix level. We have won multiple titles together over the years, but it’s the quiet harmony and the daily journey that I will cherish the most. He is a little superstar with the biggest heart. 🌟🦄
Dinky has done everything I could have ever dreamed of and more. He is now 12 years old, at the absolute peak of his career, and ready to find his next forever dancing partner, it is the right time for him to move on and give another ambitious rider the same immense pleasure, confidence, and competitive success he has gifted me over the last decade.
For now, I am just soaking up every single second with my boy. Thank you, Dinky, for a partnership I will never forget. 🩵🎵
