We have riding spots available! Haul-ins are accepted, but it is yet to be determined if we'll have stabling available for this clinic, so I'd say only sign up to ride if you are ok hauling in and out each day. DM me if you'd like a riding spot. $350/ride.

How I felt flying home last night from teaching in Chicago where it was in the mid 60s and raining knowing I was coming back to the Texas inferno 🤣

I generally don't like to post videos of my show rides because I'm horribly self critical of them, but I'm posting this one because I'm so darn proud of this horse.

Romeo is about the sweetest guy I've ever come across. It's impossible not to love him if you've met him. As is normally the case, he tried his heart out this weekend despite temps in the 90s and the usual Houston humidity.

There's always a lot to improve on like getting his poll up higher at times and getting a more open throat latch in the stretch, but I'm so proud of him and how he's developing. He's a true pleasure to work with and I'm so grateful to his owner, Barbara Hutchinson, for the opportunity to work with her special boy.

What better book to read while on my flight to Chicago for my clinic? My favorite book on classical dressage. Charles's teachings must live on.

I'm so proud of Inolvidable! It has been quite the journey with his flying changes.

I definitely made some mistakes with his left to right change and it developed into a late change. After a lot of repair work, it has become a clean change and now he's showing a talent for the tempis! There's certainly improvements to make (mainly me staying out of his way 🤣) but I couldn't be more proud of him!

He'll be making his FEI debut this fall!

My face only partially melted off of my head today, so I consider today an epic victory 🥵

Remember when it was in the 80s and raining in Central Texas last week? Yea, me neither 🤣

I haven't posted anything about my buddy Romeo in a while, but I'm so proud of the big boy and how he's coming along.

We're showing first level this year but schooling second and yesterday I decided to throw in some counter canter to see what would happen. He's getting so much stronger! Good boy Ro!

It was another fun weekend of teaching at Heidi Wright's lovely Long Meadow Farm. What makes it so fun is that there is never a lack of variety in breeds that participate. This weekend we had a mustang, a haflinger, a friesian and a thoroughbred, in addition to the warmbloods. It is always so satisfying to see how dressage helps ALL breeds and not just horses bred specifically for the discipline.

As always I am so grateful to Heidi Wright on multiple levels, but especially for the hard work filling and organizing the clinics in addition to riding multiple horses and making fabulous lunches. Of course, she couldn't do it without the help of her trusty assistant, Audrey Mae! (pictured below supervising from her dog bed)
