Sundance HT: Dressage & Show Jumping

September 27, 2018

Omg this week has both flown by (how is it already Thursday?!) and dragged (how is it only Thursday?!). Regardless, I’m a bit late on getting the show recap up. Hey, I’ve been a bit preoccupied with things like finding dishes and silverware and clothes among all the boxes in our new house, plus the … More Sundance HT: Dressage & Show Jumping

Otter Creek Fall HT: Show Jumping

September 19, 2018

Show jumping day dawned hot and muggy. We didn’t go until midday so we got to watch some of the upper level rounds. It was a dang yard sale with fences coming down left and right. Fence 4 in particular was a deceptively tricky single off a 90-degree turn away from home. It seemed to … More Otter Creek Fall HT: Show Jumping

Otter Creek Fall HT: Cross Country

September 18, 2018

Get ready for a media heavy post, people. I bought all the pro photos. #worthit I felt super confident going into cross country. The course was exactly the same as the summer Otter Creek, which was nice for being really comfortable with it. But it was slightly disappointing that they didn’t change it or have … More Otter Creek Fall HT: Cross Country

Otter Creek Fall HT: Dressage

September 17, 2018

One day I’ll get back to posting regularly but that ain’t happenin’ until October probably (because new job + moving to a new house + horse showing + freelancing + doing normal things like keeping myself fed and in clean clothing makes for a VERY BUSY LISA) so for now you just get more horse … More Otter Creek Fall HT: Dressage

Otter Creek Summer HT: Stadium

August 18, 2018

Well this week got away from me and I’m sure you’ve all been waiting in suspense to hear whether I qualified for our Area Championships. Going into stadium, I had moved up to second. I was really feeling the pressure. I knew if we had a clear round, we had a good shot of winning. … More Otter Creek Summer HT: Stadium

Otter Creek Summer HT: Cross Country

August 14, 2018

Cross country day! A.K.A. The craziest day of my whole month of August. I not only rode cross country, but I then turned around and went to a wedding an hour away. Whew. But first, the fun stuff! Cross country was great! The course was big but not terrifying. The scariest part for me was … More Otter Creek Summer HT: Cross Country

Silverwood Summer HT: Cross Country

July 25, 2018

A.K.A. The good stuff! I had a moment before cross country to try and get to a more zen state of mind after the whirlwind of stadium. I literally closed my eyes and did some deep breathing while Duke wandered up toward the warmup. What a gem. We jumped a few solid warm up fences, felt … More Silverwood Summer HT: Cross Country

Silverwood Summer HT: Stadium

July 24, 2018

After dressage, we had a good chunk of time to walk cross country, clean tack, prep studs, and eat lunch. Or so I thought. Honestly it was like a black hole warped the space-time continuum or something because one moment I had like two hours to go and the next Trainer B was running down … More Silverwood Summer HT: Stadium

Silverwood Summer HT: Dressage

July 23, 2018

My first show of the season is in the books! The days leading up to the show were…not promising, weather-wise. We really did need the rain but, like, maybe not on the day of the show? Thankfully, it turned out just fine. We did get rained on a bit on Friday, and there was plenty … More Silverwood Summer HT: Dressage

July 20, 2018

I had a magical jump lesson this week. Perhaps life-changing. We shall see over time. But dang, it was super cool. First, some background. When I was on my honeymoon, my barn hosted a clinic that neither I nor Trainer B could attend – but through those who did ride in the clinic she learned … More Canter. Corner. Contact. Lead.
