New Barn Decor
My wonderful student, Diane Thompson, gave this beautiful wall hanging to me for Christmas. I finally got it hung up yesterday, with the help of a long ladder and Sharon Eyre. I think it is stunning and really like it!
Cascade Dressage I & II, June 2016
Tinkerbell debuted at Third Level at this show. You’ll see some blunders, but even with those in the test, she scored a 65.455% and won the class. Just think what her scores will be as the training continues and she becomes more solid. Please disregard the added entertainment in the filming. I was disappointed to see there wasn’t a professional videographer at the show. So, a dear friend borrowed a tablet, which she didn’t know how to operate, in order to capture my rides.

2014 ODS Fall Symposium
Tinkerbell and I were among several pairs selected to be Demo riders for the fall symposium. What a privilege to ride with Janet Foy and Debbie McDonald! It was a wonderful learning opportunity. In addition to that, it was great to listen to their opinions on what a lovely dressage prospect Tinkerbell is. Enjoy the videos as you learn what to look for when you search for a dressage prospect.
