One very tired, but proud Belle headed home from 2 back to back weekends at Stable View.

Ladies and gentleman, we have a second level horse. So utterly proud of my girl, bringing home a 67.6 on her first outing at second level. I went ahead and asked her to do the hardest test of the level (2-3), with a very scary side of the competition ring. We got our first distinction score and I am so thrilled with the power she is developing. 7.5 gait score and lots of 8s really show the work we've put in.

Student Cassidy brought home her first 70 this weekend, and 3 blue ribbons on Turbos first outing back, and I could not be prouder.

Last weekend, Aslan and Clem got their first try at starter, and while it didn't go exactly how they hoped, they both have shown tremendous growth in both themselves and their horses and the pieces are coming together.

Jordin and Hannah rode Jasmine to her first show and theirs, with lovely scores of 63% and right under 60%. Jasmine handled herself like a pro and was the best behaved one at the show being only 4 years old!

Lily and Jazz brought home first in their CT division, and super proud of Lily for riding a very hot Jazz like a pro!

Thank you to all of the team, parents, staff and everyone who made these past 2 weeks possible. ❤️

One of my wonderful clients had her first ride on her baby horse today! It has been such a pleasure getting this one started, and I'm so excited for her future. 😍

We cooked in SC this weekend, both physically and during our rides. 🤣

So so proud of my barn manager Sareigha making her debut with Fiadh, and it was both of their first shows! She improved her score 6% in 2 tests and really showed the potential that Fiadh has in this sport.

Tatum and Matilda made their dressage debut, with 12 hour notice (taking over a friends entry that couldn't go), and only had time to run their for the very first time on Friday before showing it. They gave a beautiful and mistake free test, with a completely relaxed Matilda (which was the goal of the weekend). Incredibly proud of this duo and how far they've come since coming to Crouse.

Last, but certainly not least, my girl hasn't been quite herself this week, so I went into the weekend with the expectation of her just being an emotional support pony for the newbies, but on Saturday she felt fantastic and we managed to break 70 (only one of 5 rides to do so on Saturday).

As always we couldn't do it without our awesome right hand Noah, and are so incredibly thankful for the awesome staff at Stable View this weekend. We will be back soon!

How time flies! It's such an honor getting to watch this talented kiddo grow up. ❤️

My lovely kiddos Lily and Amarissa both had their first show last weekend, riding very respectable tests on a very distracted Jazz. Both these kids have been riding with me/riding dressage for less than 6 months and I'm so proud of their bravery to show up and how they handled themselves in the busiest atmosphere I've seen!

What a fun weekend spent in the heat with this awesome group of kiddos and horses. Excited for the next!

Next, I have to brag on this little pocket rocket. My clients lovely pony Louie and I made our training level debut this weekend and he smashed it with a 71.93%. Convincing myself I'm still not too big for the ponies. 🤣

So super proud of this man who is new to the dressage world. His rider Eliza then took the reins for their first dressage show, and killed it with a 62.3% and a first place ribbon. This pair will be one to watch and I'm so excited to keep developing this little man.

There are moments, although rarely, where things just click. This weekend was one of those.

Sitting back and realizing I am surrounded by an absolutely incredible support system full of people who show up without me even having to ask is an incredible feeling.

Ember and I debuted our very first freestyle this weekend. I can truly admit that I was the most nervous for this test I ever have been, and had 20 people show up to watch. Talk about no pressure, right? But, I don't know why I doubted my little mare, as we brought home a 69.7%, got qualified for regionals at freestyle and completed our first level bronze bar requirements.

The first thing that was said to me when I walked out was from my dad, who said this is the coolest thing that I've ever seen you do on a horse. Talk about feeling all the feels.

For most of my career, I have felt like an outsider in the sport. One day I stopped trying to beg for seats at other peoples table, and made my own, and it's filled with the most incredible people who believe in me more than I do most days.

A massive thank you to Lily D for being my right hand and groom, who I could not have done it without. for our awesome music (bringing Chappell Roan to the court) and choreography. My barn mama Sarah for being my emotional support human, my parents, my barn manager Sareigha, cheerleader Noah and so many others that continue to support my journey. I am so glad I got to have this huge milestone in front of so many of my closest clients, friends and family. Videos coming soon! 🤗

Team appreciation day! So thankful to work with the most incredible people. ❤️

My little black mare really held her own against horses of calibers you rarely see this weekend (and an Olympian). We are headed to Regionals, received .1% under 70, multiple 8s and a 7.5 gait score at a level 3 show (on a horse that I had been told her walk is so tense I should just give up on her in the beginning of our partnership).

Sweetie E you continue to show the world the underdog is not to be counted out and I'm so proud of you and how far you've come. 🖤

Thank you to my awesome kiddos who groomed and everyone who came out, I had a huge cheering section and it truly means the world to me. Next up, we're debuting our freestyle!

These kiddos made me such a proud trainer this weekend.

Aslan, my working student at his first dressage show, and Copper's first dressage show brought home a 62.8% at training one with a beautiful test to watch. What is most impressive is this horse was a complete restart 9 months ago with lots of confidence and bucking issues. He is now such a solid citizen who loves his work! I'm so excited to watch this pair grow.

Cana handled herself like a pro this weekend with quite a few challenges. Her original mount pulled up with an abscess on Friday, her horsemanship and love for horses shined through. Saturday morning I grabbed Jazz out of the pasture and like a NASCAR pit crew we quickly got him show ready 2 hours before her test. She took the horse change in stride and rode a stunning warm up and stayed calm and relaxed in her test (which was her big goal for the weekend) AND snagged a blue. Go Cana!

Clementine has worked so hard on her dressage for the last 6 months and has been a critical piece in Coppers education. For her very first time at training level, she rode beautifully and really kept her impulsion as the day got hot. Really proud of this kid and how hard she works.

Thank you to everyone who came out and cheered us on! ❤️
