Testing out our new bling bling bridle and some braids before our debut tomorrow
It's been a long time coming!!!! Flor de Lis, "Fiona" and I are dipping our toes in a horse show this weekend!
It's GEC's last dressage show, sadly. And Fiona has been feeling confident enough to give it a go!
I'm so excited and a tiny bit nervous. But ...over-all I'm proud of how I've stuck to it.

Here's the video clip. Hastil "Black Beauty" is learning piaffe. He will have it soon, the mechanics are looking good. Thanks again Jayne Tonowski
Jayne Tonowski 's beautiful "Back Beauty" is so balanced. This clip was just a quick moment in time. He was just exploring some different answers to what I was asking. I love riding and training him! Thanks Jayne
I love this girl! I'm so grateful for our longtime friendship, over 30 years. I know she is always there for me even if we don't talk often! Lucky me, she is now bringing her niece for dressage coaching so I get to see her every week! And today she helped me with my mare Fiona ...today! Love you Gina Marie!!! (the other Gina)
Feeling so grateful!
I am proud of what I teach to all my students young and old.! I love to make thinking, problem solving riders!!!!
I texted my adult amateur student today, "Did u ride today?"
Her answer "I did ride and we had some moments and I rode through it and he let me ride him. Lots ...of circles and get off the leg get off that leg... I had my trainer brain on and schooled my position...he got better when I stayed my position we also had forward and a good trot to post! Did some turn on forehand then into canter...aborted left canter to right a couple times went on to other stuff came back to it and got it! He was on my aids towards the end of the ride."
My personal Barbie. We all love Fiona in the barn. Come by and visit. She's a love bug
