Today we had friends bring their grandsons & a neighbor bring their daughter over for cocoa & cookies and to ride horses. It was a great time and I love nothing more than sharing my passion of horses with people. Tango and her full sister Sapphire, represented the Gypsy Vanner breed well being angels to the whole family of beginners, as usual. I am always proud of these horses. You can not do this with a lot of horses.

Merry Christmas everyone!
This was created with AI by someone in a FB group I belong to. They used my profile picture from a Western Dressage show this last Memorial Day weekend near Daytona Beach (Ironically it was 97 and really windy, it felt like an air fryer). This is my mare Cozy Pines Princess Tango, you can see her show number on the bridle, just below her ears. But other than the show number, the picture looks very realistic for a horseback ride in Florida, right?

Our Western Dressage show scheduled for this last weekend was cancelled due to the EHV outbreak. But I wanted to share, that My horse, Cozy Pines Princess Tango and I earned the Western Dressage Association of America (WDAA) Register of Merit in our first year showing Western Dressage! It was also our first-year learning Dressage, I have never ridden English, so there was a lot to learn. WDAA tracks show results and gives points based on your Western Dressage Ridden Test Scores, for the level you are competing in. Tango and I have had some really good test scores, so we accumulated the points in less than a year.
A special Thank You to my trainer Sheri L Nall, who has taught me about Western Dressage this year. Sheri offers riding lessons in Western or Classical Dressage, as well as Western & English Pleasure and Ranch riding on Gypsy Vanner horses at my barn Dreamy Oaks Ranch. Please reach out if you would like to learn more or join us at Western Dressage shows, Gypsy Vanner shows or an occasional open breed pleasure show. Sheri has accumulated a large group of Amateur students; we have a great time going to shows together!

This past weekend we attended the Winning Ways with Western Dressage, Show and Grow program. A show and multi day clinic afterwards. Saturday was a show with the famous Lynn Palm of Palm Equestrian Academy as the Judge. Tango and I scored a 75.75 in our Intro test 4, winning the class and the Amateur Highpoint Championship! I also won the class for Test 2 and Sheri L Nall rode Tango in the next level up, Basic Test 4 and she won 1st place as well.
Then the next two days were classroom evaluation reviews with Lynn reviewing our strengths and weaknesses and how to improve. Then we had riding instruction with Lynn afterwards. This was my fourth semi-annual clinic with Lynn, she adds a lot of value to Tango and my training and Sheri and I get lots of feedback on how to do better and what to focus on next. Thank you Lynn, I love your clinics, I always walk away excited to move forward! Lynn repeatedly complements Tango for trying hard and being such a pretty mover, that really makes me happy. Thank you, Sheri, for all the work you put into Tango and to be able continue improving! Sheri offers riding lessons on our Gypsy Vanners here in Summerfield, FL. If you are interested in learning to ride, please let us know.

Last Sunday, we went to the first STRIDE Dressage of Ocala, FL show of the new season. It was a larger show, as this year they have at least their first two shows sanctioned for Western Dressage with Western Dressage Association of America WDAA and AQHA for points with them. I won 2nd out of 8 and 2nd out of 6 on my two Western Dressage Tests. My trainer Sheri L Nall has been schooling Tango for me, for the next level, which I will start competing in next year. Sheri showed Tango in Basic Level and won the class, they also won the Basic Level Highpoint and the Western Dressage Highpoint with the highest test score of the entire show in all 3 rings of 75.192 (Classic Dressage, Western Dressage and Dressage Driving). Thank you, Sheri, for bringing out the best in Tango and myself! Horse Pics are from previous shows as we were not able to get pics this time, and I know my horse friends won't even look at a post without a horse pic in it lol Due to torrential downpour at the end of the show, the office packed up and left before announcing highpoints, so no pics of the highpoint ribbons :(

We had a great Gypsy Vanner show at the World Equestrian Center in Ocala, FL this week. There were other breeds also showing in separate classes at this show, so that did slow it down a tad. But I think as an Amateur, one of the things I love about showing is meeting up with other Amateur Horse owners who are our Tribe. We all are taking a break from what we do for a living and enjoy meeting up with others we share the same passion with. Catching up with some and meeting new friends. In this case there were people I knew at the Open Breed Western Dressage part of the show as well as The Gypsy Vanner part of the show. My trainer Sheri Nall had to interrupt my conversation more than one time to make sure we made it to the arena in time for our classes lol. Tango won twelve Open 1st places with Sheri and I riding her in Ranch Riding, Trail, Dressage Suitability as well as in Halter and she won a Grand Champion Mare by one judge and a 2nd place/Reserve Champion mare by the other judge. Life is short - Go to more Horse Shows!

We were at STRIDE Dressage of Ocala, FL year-end Awards Banquet at WEC Sunday night. Tango and I won the Year-End Highpoint (highest score of the year) and for The Highest Median Score of the whole year for Intro Level Amateur. I want to thank my Trainer Sheri Nall who taught us Western Dressage. I had only ever ridden Western and did not know a thing about Dressage before working with her. She taught us everything we know and I am very thankful for being able to work with her. I also won a gift for beeing a volunteer, which is so important to groups today, to survive.

We are at The World Equestrian Center for the Magnolia Gypsy Vanner show which also includes a WDAA rated open breed Western Dressage show. Tango and I scored a 74 with two 9’s (our first score of “9”) & two 8’s for 2nd place in Intro Test 4 Amateur. Sheri also rode Tango in the next level, Basic Test 4 and she won 2nd place also. We start Gypsy Vanner classes tomorrow thru Wednesday. We are so fortunate to live only 30 minutes from the premier horse show facility in the country.
