Christian Simonson at the World Cup Championships -
What a phenomenal journey! The youngest rider ever to medal in the World Championships, Christian won the Silver, just behind the amazing rides of Becky Moody from Great Britain. Scoring a personal best of 83+% in his free style. Huge congratulations to Christian, Indian Rock, and all the amazing team. So proud of you!

So proud and happy for Christian Simonson as he achieves his goals - one after another! I remember starting his dressage training when he was a small 10-year-old with the mind of an adult and the drive and talent to learn quickly. He won nearly every class he entered, often securing the high score of the show. I am probably his biggest fan now as he continues to mature and reach higher goals under the watchful eye and guidance of multi Olympian, Adrienne Lyle. Already a Pan American Team Gold medalist, Christian is honing his skills with the talented stallion, Indian Rock. Congratulations to Christian and the whole team it takes to garner such success.

"On that last centerline, I was just thinking, ‘Whoa, this is me doing this with the Indian Rock. I can’t believe it,’" Christian Simonson said of completing his winning Friday Night Lights freestyle at the Adequan Global Dressage Festival. "It’s weird having a childhood dream come true in real time."

My first Working Equitation show was so fun and eye opening , too. As I coached Alberto Conde for his masters dressage test and got to witness how the riders were using dressage training to better navigate the obstacle course even at speed, I met so many wonderful people. Here is Alberto on the right with Jona Williams Oldenberg gelding, and Frederico Bernardino on the left with his Lusitano. Both hail from Portugal and dressed in their traditional attire. If you have never seen a Working Equitation show, I suggest you treat yourself to one.

So fun today helping Alberto Conde prepare for a big Working Equitation competition. With Portuguese tack and attire but riding, not a Lusitano, but an Oldenberg owned by Jona Williams, we both had things to learn from each other. Alberto is no stranger to Working EQ and has won many competitions. He asked me to help him polish his performance, which was very fun as I learned what he needed and found the way to help him achieve better results. Good luck, Alberto, in Temecula Working Equitation Championships this weekend!
