Wow! We did not see this coming but looks like our sweet mare Fendi S (Finest x Sandro Hit/Rotspon,) is the Cover Girl for the Hanoverian Awards Yearbook! This pic was from a couple years ago, but came up for her Journey Award, for top scores nationally, aggregated from 1st-4th level, as she finished out the National levels last year.

Thank you for the huge honor for my sweet girl! Our first cover 👀

Making it even more special, the photo was done by my long-suffering husband . 😘

Great weekend showing at Skyridge Equestrian! 5yo Rorpario & Revel assistant trainer Elise Lesko found their 2nd level confidence. Baby 4yo’s Jagger & Supreme Level were super, w Supreme Level winning overall show High Point w amateur rider Cassie Jones & Jagger getting over his show nerves for a great Materiale class.

Biggest thing: the incredible team! From husbands/partners toting sugar bags & recording videos, to dads getting crafty with missing show numbers, and riders helping each other with strategically placed horse-friends, I am so proud of each rider & horse & so happy to have you as part of our team! Long live 🦾🥂💃🏼

Fabulous Fendi really became a show horse at the Del Mar CDI last week. So proud of this mare for going through the challenging Developing Horse Prix St Georges in her practice & Final with 4 scores btw 66-68% from 4 different judges.

Love seeing her confidence & rideability on display- now to clean up this tests and do it again soon! 🤩🥂💃🏼

Great explanation of contact from Bert Rutten: “I have to be able to bring my hand forward and he stays where he is, that’s called self-carriage. Then when I push him, he must have the desire to follow the bit, forward, downwards, then I have contact, and contact is not determined by the weight you have in your hand, that’s a mistake a lot of riders make, they think contact is weight. Contact is that the horse has the desire to follow the bit at all times. “

What incredible pics from Impulsion Images! Really lovely way to record the Steffen Peters Symposium put on by Utah Dressage Society. Gizmo was a terrific marquee demo for the Grand Prix work. I loved Steffen's focus on self carriage & suppleness, I could practice that* stuff all day long! Great to carry it into the hardest work in our sport.

Many thanks to Utah Dressage Society for hosting the fab symposium a few weeks ago w Steffen Peters! Loved the work we did with little powerhouse Gizmo on self-carriage. Here we school medium trot to half steps- this was a first attempt and the activity / self carriage got better & better. I like the close up view of the überstreichen right by the camera as we get ready to start the exercise. 🤩

Excited to have La Baule, (Millennium x Zhivago) in the lineup! He was out for the last month since arriving from NL due to a hoof abscess. Glad it was nothing more serious but we are excited to get going w this big fella! (185cm//18hh, if you’re wondering!)
