Rivergirl Dressage

Some things are too good NOT to share.

This is one of them.

I LOVE how I feel on MAKE WELLNESS products and the fact that I am stronger, healthier, leaner, and more focused than ever at nearly 60 years of age, well...that says something.

I know that I have good genetics....but this is bigger than that.

I TAKE EXCEPTIONALLY GOOD CARE OF MYSELF.

I Believe and Trust and Understand the science of HOW we can support ourselves, these days.

Back when my parents were my age, NONE of this existed...not to this level of certainty, relative to RESULTS.

I love to share the wealth of dressage education that I have accumulated in my lifetime...I am proud to be an Affiliate for MAKE WELLNESS (a company that delivers wellness solutions we can all use!)... I am proud to be a 200-YTT Yoga Instructor.

I am proud to know that I can help you...knowing that we are ALL riddled with issues and we are ALL here to heal. My goal is to strictly be a Friend, an honest voice.
..and my Goal is to share resources that have worked for me. I am nearing 60-years of age but honestly feel like I am in my 30's!!!

And I want YOU to feel that way.

I apologize for this emphatic post, but if you could use a boost, I am HERE FOR YOU! I truly, 100% thrive on helping others....so

PLEASE just reach out.

If no one has said this to you today, know that YOU ARE LOVED. You ARE. And I AM one of those who actually, truly, LOVES YOU.

Peace,
xx

Everyone who knows me knows that i am all about health, fitness, and well being. I’ve lived some big extremes in my quest to fight off diaease and aging… or at least, that rapid onset aging that makes aging gracefully difficult if not impossible.

Have you been watching and hearing the buzz these days about peptides?? Are you thinking all peptides are same, whether bought at Costco, Whole Foods, or some online offer??

I’ve got news for you:
Not all peptides are the same. Some are uniquely in a space of ther own.

And most of the stuff sitting on store shelves is not what your body actually needs:
A lot of what's out there is just collagen or protein peptides, NOT the kind that signal your body to repair, rebuild, and balance.
Most don't have the clinical doses or delivery systems that actually make a difference.
And honestly? Some are full of junk fillers or added sugars that go against your goals.

What I have discovered in the realm of supporting our wellness with peptides is not a trendy buzzword or fizzy drink. I have discovered real, functional, Bio-Activated Targeted peptides that are designed to work with your body to:
- Balance hormones
- Improve deep, quality sleep
- Build lean muscle
- Support skin health
- Boost metabolism and fat loss

So if you've tried "peptides" and didn't feel a difference... it's probably because you didn't have the right ones.

Want to know the ones I use that actually support my body and effectively optimize my body’s systems and performance goals?

I'd love to share more — just reach out!

Undoubtedly, it takes just a few minutes to sign the petition and it will assuredly save lives that would otherwise be sadly lost. Thank you taking a moment of your day to raise your voice for the wild horses of Assateague …

Had to share here too… afterall, my horse friends likely know this already, yet it remains to be celebrated. Our horses do so much for us…above all, they teach us love, perseverance, and self-respect.

I have gifted this book dozens of times… and this movie is so tender. Do yourself a favor, pick up a copy or find the whole film. Your heart and “little child inside” will thank you!!

Dreams really do come true!!!!!!

I am beyond THRILLED to announce that Rivergirl Dressage is the proud new owner of these two absolutely LOVELY 2-year old offspring by the lovely Oldenburg stallion Monterey, bred by High Point Hanoverians. Could I possibly be smiling from a deeper place inside this 'little girl' who is literally bursting from the inside-to-outside?? Definitely, not!

Maestro HP, my "Golden Boy," is out of a lovely Jazz-Freestyle mare "B-Bop" and has completely won my heart!! His frame, his impeccably clean conformation, his superb expression of all 3-gaits, coupled with his exquisite eye and gentle yet sensitive nature are all deeply compelling. I have a dream for him....and will so enjoy developing him for the next 3-5 years....

Lady Marmalade HP, my very own "Black Beauty," is out of the fabulous Pr.St. mare Touch of Class (Totilas-Burggraaf) who is also the dam of the stallion Gribaldi HP. She has the most incredible mind, stunning gaits, and that perfect 'kissing spot' with a snip on her nose....and like her half-brother, two perfectly matched hind socks. I fell in love with her two years ago and was never fully certain I would ever be able in the position to buy her, but here I am....Dreams really do come true!!!

And now...for the other part of my big announcement....I am OFFICIALLY BACK 100% in the horse world and fully committed time-wise to sharing my passion for dressage, sport horse training and development, and the development of all riders. I so look forward to teaching, training, providing clinics, and conducting my signature event, "The Art of Functionally Correct Dressage," which truly applies to any equestrian-based sport.

My Life feels like it has returned to all green lights...my heart is full, ready to serve, and ready to celebrate each day being in relationship with horses and their people!!! Can't wait to see more of all of you!

This little light of mine…. Yes! I’m gonna let it Shine!! More happy news coming around the bend…

https://www.facebook.com/share/p/19RHSA2bMu/?mibextid=wwXIfre e

“This little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine”.

Your Light is your Essence.
Your Light is your Power.
And it is your Divinity.
Your Light has been dimmed for too long.
Turned down low, through fear of attack, or even of success.
For fear that, if you did REALLY let it shine as brightly as it’s capable of shining, then boy, would your life change!
But, you need your Light to shine.
To glow and to emit its incredible waves of energy and power.
Without, life is grey, muted, quiet, lacklustre, small and monotonous.
And the World also NEEDS your Light.
So let Your Light ripple out so that it encourages everyone else’s Light to also flicker back to life.
Let yourself truly shine now.
It’s time.
