 Catching up on some of the fun things I have been able to do lately. Last weekend I was also able to catch the Master Class with Jessica von Brendon-Werndl at Global with one of my favorite people, Melissa Jackson AND to watch the last CDI Freestyles of the season with another most dear friend and coach, Kathy Connelly. I owe them both a debt of gratitude as they also each put me up for a night as I had a most instructive and fun weekend. Time to get back to work!

A few weeks ago my new friend Michelle Davis Klasing contacted me and said she owned a horse named Merlin who is very special to me. She invited me to come see him canter down the centerline at Grand Prix before she retires him this year. I was so grateful for the invitation and had tears in my eyes as I was reunited with him after over 10 years. It is such a blessing to find that a horse you parted with has been loved by someone else as much as you love him! Merlin was my first Grand Prix horse. It was the first Grand Prix for both of us when we came down the centerline! I am thrilled that he has gone on and helped many people achieve their goals. Special congratulations to Michele who earned her gold medal this season on him. Honestly, I think he has gotten better with age! Huge thanks and grateful appreciation to all of those who have been involved in his life and absolutely delighted thanks to Michelle for inviting me to be a part of his retirement season. Congratulations Michelle, and thank you for giving him a forever home. I’m always here for Merlin should you need me!

Great fun at Tampa SDCTA show. Thanks Becki Orze for these pictures!
Everyone rode well and we had several winning rides. We can check off a few of our to do boxes now and plan for the next show. It is really fun to see these three girls together showing again. They who’ve been friends since before JR High. LOVE IT.

A bit late but we had quite a time in Kentucky at the Nationals. I am honored to have had the same groom for the entire career of my current GP mount. Becky Kickliter has seen us from our first show at training level all the way to the GP. Erivo was at Nationals for both those levels and Becky was with us then and is still standing! Thanks Becky, we haves shared another journey and I’m so grateful. . .
We were in the top ten both years we made the trip. Couldn’t have done it alone!

Thrilled to be at WEC again. And even more excited to have placed 4th in the CDI in the GP. A big day for us. Thanks to the Tristan Oaks Staff for the fantastic help. Thanks Melissa Jackson for your eyes on the ground and support. On to the special . . .
