Super clinic with @jeremy_steinberg this past weekend! I made up for missing the last one (I was competing at Devon) by getting to ride three horses with him both days this time. Here’s @tiddlucy ‘s Kayla (Ferdeaux x Metall), the fanciest little pocket rocket around! Love this mare. 🚀💕 #dressage #dressagetraining #younghorse #kwpnhorse #dressagehorsesofinstagram #equestrian #dressurpferd

My assistant trainer, Charlotte, observing my remote lesson with Jan and Grayson. 🤍 Jan moved to Colorado in August, but thanks to the wonders of technology, I am still able to teach her and Grayson via the Pixem system! And teaching by the fire in windy, 40 degree weather ain’t bad. 😜

Congratulations to everyone on their success at Re

Congratulations to everyone on their success at Regionals! We had a great time and got a few horses qualified for USDF Finals as well.

Abby Rowe and Freewill had an outstanding showing, winning both the Junior Team and Fourth Level Jr/YR championships on 68%+ scores with lovely, harmonious riding. So proud of this team.

Jessie Ginsburg and Vodermus had some unfortunate tension problems in their I-2 championship, ending up in 5th. Still so proud of these two, who only moved up to I-2 in August. Anyone who has done that leap knows how hard it is, especially when you and your horse are both green to it.

Carol Thomas and Gentle were 8th in the Second Level MFS championship, and third in a huge Second Level AA championship with a solid 66%+. This team is all qualified for USDF Finals!

Lucy Tidd and Ellert HB had a fantastic go in the Grand Prix MFS championship, earning a 71%+ and placing 4th. In the Grand Prix AA championship they received a 64%+ for 3rd. Lucy and Kayla were Reserve Champion in the First Level AA championship with a 72%+. Both horses are qualified for USDF Finals as well.

Hans and I struggled with some tension at the beginning of this show, but he got better and better as the weekend went on. We were 7th in the Fourth Level MFS championship, with a huge unfortunate problem in one movement that put me way off my music and pattern. But on Sunday we had our best go of the weekend, earning 5th place and a wildcard score for Finals with a 68%+ in the Fourth Level Open division.

Very proud of everyone. It was a fun (albeit long and exhausting 🤪) weekend, but we had a lot of laughs and everyone was so supportive of one another. Looking forward to a break in showing, and getting to train without interruption for a while.
