I can’t think my lucky stars enough for this amazing horse. We hit so many road blocks this weekend yet we overcome every single one and still tacked up and gave it everything we had. Buttercup fights so hard to never give up on me and it push me to try harder for her.

Buttercup is such a talented sweet loving girl and Jean Kaplan Thornton has given me the amazing chance to rider her for young riders. She has taught me that I can do more then I ever thought. Thank you Jean Kaplan Thornton!

Thank you to everyone who supports me in my crazy ideas to go big. It means the world to me💜

Just because I haven’t posted anything doesn’t mean I’m not staying busy.

Here is me on the left with Moonlight, Buttercup, Brooklyn dream, Broadway dream, Barcelona, I took all these horses to regionals and compete ever single one of them every day for 4 days so that’s 5 class for 4 days =20 classes. I placed in the top 4 with all the horses almost in ever class.

All these horses where owned/breed by the amazing Jean Kaplan Thornton

Opportunity like this don’t happen all the time and I can successfully say that we as a team took this and ran. Made the best of it. So proud of each horses. They all tried there hearts out for me. 💜

If you fall behind, run faster. Never give up, never surrender, and rise up against the odds!

A lot of things have happened recently that most people would quit over. But when I look out in the  field and see buttercup looking back at me I know she’s in it with me and we are a unstoppable team and we will not back down or stop. Things don’t come easy but that is the beauty in it. Once you  overcome something difficult you know you you earned it!

Thank you Dr. Cecil Ashby for keeping my body straight and performing at its best!

Thank you Jean Kaplan Thornton for allowing me to use your home breed palomino buttercup! 

Thank you Imperfectly Pamela for getting me stronger and healthier.

What a amazing weekend and a great way to start the year off! Scored a 66 one Saturday in my young riders team test. Then came back Sunday and scored a 68 in my young rider individual test and a 69 in my young rider musical freestyle! Some of my best scores yet. I have Jean Thornton to think for coaching me to this point and for believing in me.

Dr Cecil Ashby for keeping my body correct

Pamela Sadlon for keeping fit and getting me strong!
