This weekend marked Fighting Fellow and my first outing at training together and Tyson said “hold my hay” 🐴✨ bringing his A-game at Otter Creek — a lovely dressage test, then absolutely cruised around cross country with only a few planned time penalties. Show jumping had one rail down, and let’s be honest, that one’s 100% on the jockey, not him 😂 Finished 5th overall and punched our ticket to Area Training Championships next month — right back here at Otter Creek!
So many people to thank for this one:
🙏 To Tyson’s owner — thank you for trusting me with such a classy, generous horse. Getting to partner with him is a gift I don’t take for granted.
🎥 To the Papadakis family — thank you for giving up part of your weekend to film my dressage and show jumping rounds. That footage is gold for reviewing and leveling up.
🟢 To Forestier Sellier USA 🇺🇸 — thank you for the constant support and for keeping us decked out in the finest tack around. Riding in gear you trust makes all the difference.
Onward to Area IV Championships 🏆
