Dressage at Lexington is always one of my favorite Dressage at Lexington is always one of my favorite shows of the year, and we had a great showing! Thank you VADA, Bettina and everyone involved in putting on such a big show—great job as always. I wasn’t entirely convinced I was going to be able to ride at this show—I got COVID a couple of weeks ago, and it really hit me hard. I wasn’t able to do much riding until Tuesday of this week. 

Sierra Stewart’s Furst of All was a rock star, winning both of his classes on a 70% and 72%, and winning First Level High Score for Saturday. 

Grace Lotsikas did her first show with my Wachenheim and did a super job, winning 4 out of 5 classes (second in the fifth class) with scores up to 67% at Second Level. They were also Second Level Reserve Champion in the SHAC. 

Lucy Tidd was Reserve Champion in the GP Challenge, and fourth in the FEI Musical Freestyle Challenge. 

My Hans won his FEI Musical Freestyle class on Friday on just under 70%, I scratched him from his other class and we had a nice schooling ride instead. 

Jessie Ginsburg and Vodie had great schooling session on Saturday, chipping away at the GP work. 

Huge thanks as always to my sponsors @customsaddlery / @catesaddles 

Last but not ever least, immense gratitude to the amazing Cassidy Hageman who kept everyone going at home, doing her usual wonderful job. She also busted her butt keeping everyone going while I was out sick for six days with COVID. I could not do this without her!

Pretty jazzed to run my first road race in close t Pretty jazzed to run my first road race in close to ten years. A series of injuries have constantly set me back (e.g.: shoulder surgery 2014 x2, 2018, 2020, 2022, and hip surgery in 2016 and 2019), so I haven’t stayed sound enough to train and complete a race at any distance, much less this distance (half marathon). But I did it! And I even crushed my goal of running under two hours, completing in 1:52:37–a personal best for me, beating out the 1:53:36 I ran ten years ago.  I’m for sure no elite runner, but I love the physical and mental challenge of running.

Great start to the season last weekend at Loch Moy Great start to the season last weekend at Loch Moy! Hans was a rock star Saturday in the Prix St. Georges, winning the class and High Score PSG with a 71.765%. 🖤 Sunday he became slightly unhinged by the cross country clinic going on at the showgrounds, but still managed nearly a 66% in his first go at I-1.  Huge thank you to Cassidy Hageman for all of her help over the weekend!

“'You become. It takes a long time. That's why i “'You become. It takes a long time. That's why it doesn't happen often to people who break easily, or have sharp edges, or who have to be carefully kept. Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in the joints and very shabby. But these things don't matter at all, because once you are Real you can't be ugly, except to people who don't understand.”

Happy 29th birthday to my Mouse. 23 years together. So many fun memories. I love seeing you so happy in retired life. 🐭💕
