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

Basics, basics, basics. Super clinic with Jeremy Steinberg working on all the good stuff: thoroughness, straightness, adjustability. While it may not have been super exciting to anyone watching, the feel I got from Hans (especially in today’s trot work, which unfortunately I have no video of! 😩) gave me chills. Love this special boy so much. 🖤 #handsomehansi #dressage #dressagehorsesofinstagram #dressurpferd #roadtograndprix #kwpnhorse #equestrian
