“Nobody tells this to people who are beginners,

“Nobody tells this to people who are beginners, I wish someone told me. All of us who do creative work, we get into it because we have good taste. But there is this gap. For the first couple years you make stuff, it’s just not that good. It’s trying to be good, it has potential, but it’s not. But your taste, the thing that got you into the game, is still killer. And your taste is why your work disappoints you. A lot of people never get past this phase, they quit. Most people I know who do interesting, creative work went through years of this. We know our work doesn’t have this special thing that we want it to have. We all go through this. And if you are just starting out or you are still in this phase, you gotta know its normal and the most important thing you can do is do a lot of work. Put yourself on a deadline so that every week you will finish one story. It is only by going through a volume of work that you will close that gap, and your work will be as good as your ambitions. And I took longer to figure out how to do this than anyone I’ve ever met. It’s gonna take awhile. It’s normal to take awhile. You’ve just gotta fight your way through.”

An excessive amount of ribbons for one ride, but I’m not complaining! Hans was a star, winning the USDF Musical Freestyle Challenge at Dressage at Lexington this weekend with a 75.6% (Fourth Level). He also earned High Score MFS of the day, and Overall High Score MFS of the show. We had very limited practice time (I finished editing my music Tuesday, and we left for the show Thursday! 🙈) and despite some nervousness about the atmosphere in the coliseum, he came through for me. The most amazing boy. 🖤 Thank you to my sponsor @customsaddlery for allowing us to perform at our best, fitted by the wonderful @ridetimesboutique .

We had another great clinic with @jeremy_steinberg this weekend. Hans was a rock star as always—here’s a little clip of some piaffe work.

Thanks Jeremy, for your insight, attention to detail, and humor—I so appreciate your help with my horses and students.

It was a fun surprise to see myself and @riverwood.equestrian ‘s Galantha being poster girls for @dressagefoundation ! I was awarded a Lindgren Grant from The Dressage Foundation last year, and used it to take my horse Hans to work with @teamtatedressage and @jeremy_steinberg this spring. You can read about my trip in my training journal—see my Linktree in my bio. #equestrian #dressagerider #dressagetraining #dressage #dressagefoundation
