Flashback Friday: Area IV Champs Helmet Cam

May 8, 2020

Riding at the Area IV championships at Novice was a huge goal for me in 2018, and it is really fun to watch the helmet cam video back! Even though I know the weekend ended in a minor disaster. But XC day was so fun and felt like the culmination of a wonderful season. I … More Flashback Friday: Area IV Champs Helmet Cam

Sundance HT: Cross Country

September 28, 2018

Sundance has the most beautiful cross country courses, and it’s nice because we can go school there throughout the summer. It’s familiar but they make the courses challenging. Duke was a super star! He needed some encouragement to get going, and until he made it over fence 5 – a gray ramp with feed bags … More Sundance HT: Cross Country

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

Otter Creek Summer HT: Dressage

August 13, 2018

Here we are again, folks! Yes, I did two horse trials in two weekends, and yes, they were both more than 4-and-a-half hours away, and yes, I am exhausted. No, I don’t regret a moment of it! This horse trials was great because it was set over three days instead of two (or one, like … More Otter Creek Summer HT: Dressage

Catalpa Corner HT: Stadium

August 10, 2018

The final day of the show started with a bang. Literally. There was a big lightning storm and a tree on the cross country course got hit. There were some loud boomers. But the show must go on, and thankfully it passed quickly. The stadium course was my favorite ever, by far. Purely because the jumps … More Catalpa Corner HT: Stadium
