JKF Dressage- Julie Franzen Dressage at Turning Leaf

19/07/2025

We had an amazing clinic with Kim Gentry! Not only is she super knowledgeable, she is just a fun person! From bit fittings all day to wonderful dinner conversations in the evening, I already cannot wait for the next one this same time next year. If you are in central Ohio, this is an awesome opportunity to be able to work with the best in the business! Thank you Kim for a wonderfully educational 2 days!

This weekend was about surviving a show! For some reason I always have bad luck the week before this show… this year problems in my SI. I was able to get myself injected, but still had to manage pain all weekend. We took a former jumper, Demeter, to his first dressage show, which was a great experience and he has potential to develop into a really nice dressage horse in his next career. Luann and my, Valentina went for more show experience to see if we could get the same relaxation at shows that we get at home which we accomplished today rocking a 77.2% in materiale! Hannah and Lance made improvements on show anxiety putting up strong 3-3 tests. This duo is already qualified for regionals! Krystin and Arthur were able to get her remaining freestyle distinction score!

It takes a lot of sweat and some tears, but we have fun, make friends and get better with every outing! Thanks to all that support us along the way!

Next week is bit fitting clinic, but for tonight I am planning to relax in air conditioning!

Valentina’s favorite part of horse showing is my chair in her door. She loves to hang her head on top of mine 😘😍🦄

This week is going to be brutal. Early mornings for me! This is a great reminder.

Thanks for this, Karla Pohl:

How much interest would there be in bringing olympian Jan Ebeling to Central Ohio for a clinic and possibly regular clinic series? I have an opportunity to bring him to my barn.
