SSH stepped out of their comfort zone today and came out to the Dripping Springs Ranch Park & Event Center for their DSRP Dressage Holiday Classic Show!
Annie has been hard at work prepping Only A Certain for her dressage debut! I canāt be more proud of this teams progression this year!
Annie and Mabel have both made such progress in this new event, and even more progress as a pair. They recieved great marks from the judge on their presence as a pair, and some wonderful feedback for how to improve.
They came back 1st in their Intro Test A and 3rd in their Intro Test B! Way to go!
Huge thanks to DSRP for always putting on a great time! Thank you to Penny Reeves for all of your support and encouragement on this new venture! And of course Lily Sellers and Melissa for keeping all of us in line!

āØSOLDāØ
Ultimate Heat aka āHudsonā is a 2013 APHA (RR) Gelding standing approx 15.2. This boy is for sale due to no fault of his own, just unfortunately isnāt the right fit for his new owner.
Hudson would excel with a single rider with a soft hand that has goals to show at the 4-H or Open Show level. He has made great progress since being in our program after having quite a bit of time off. He does not need to stay in a training program, but would reccomend guidance from a trainer if a more novice rider.
He is going along great on the rail and for showmanship. Has been started in an English saddle and is doing well, has also been started over poles. He has been ridden in small periods around the property but has not been ātrail riddenā. I personally think this boy could excel in the Western Dressage Pen with proper training!
Hudson was nominated to the Breeders Trust (expired) and the Kentucky Paint Horse Incentive Fund.
Located in Dripping Springs, Texas. Offered at 8,5xx, open to offers!

How blessed are we to have this pair on our team! As many know, both Carrie and Clyde are on their own journey to recovery and this was a huge milestone for Carrie Freudenstein Ruiz! We canāt say enough great things about the mind on this young gelding by The Offshore Account! It takes a good one to be able to pack around a rider like this. We hope the rest of their recovery is as great as today proved, we see the light at the end of the tunnel and are so happy to see this pair getting back into the show pen in 2022!
John-Paul is planning to make his debut in the 10 & Under Walk-Trot Western Pleasure this weekend! Hard to imagine this is only his second time riding on his own in the big arena! 2022 Show Season is in full swing and we would love for you to join our team! We will have a stall opening April 1st, if you want to join our team but do not have a horse of your own we do have a lease option available to a W/T Rider! Our Facility includes oversized stalls with lights, private tack room, 2 wash racks, round pen, hot walker, turn out, and 2 arenas (one has jump course set up year round!). All horses are fed top quality feeds and are on a coastal/alfalfa diet. Director lives on property and trainer lives right down the road! Feel free to reach out if you would like to come visit and see the program in action!
