Had a successful week at the KHJA Horse Show. Capulet, for his first time showing at Kentucky and his second time ever showing in the 3 ft Green Division, was Reserve Champion with me. Sirocco earned top ribbons in the USHJA 2’6 division with me and also was consistently in the ribbons with Monica Oliver in the Low Adult Division. Capulet was also Champion in the Middle Adult Amateur Division with Lori Snetsinger.

I am so grateful for the coaching that Lisa Goretta and Jennifer Baumert have given me. Their guidance and dedication to Classical Dressage Principles has immensely expanded my understanding as a rider, trainer and has given me a much better ability to produce happy, relaxed and balanced horses and riders!

Finally, a huge thank you to Robin and Otis Brown for their coaching at the ring. They are the best and I am so lucky to have such an amazing team! 😊

What a great show at Brave Horse Ohio last week. The horses learned so much and we all learned more about them and what they needed to be happy, relaxed and successful! Good job to all! ☺️

Congratulations to Capulet and Lori Snetsinger winning the NAL/WIHS Classic and Champion in the Adult Amateur Division at Chagrin Valley Farms horse show this week!

Capulet also won his schooling classes with me. He is very new to the hunter divisions and is learning so much in a relaxed and positive way. This was our first horse show in the 3' division and he took it all "in stride" ❤️

“Ask yourself often what your horse might think of you.” - Paul D Cronin from his book Schooling and Riding the Sport Horse.

This quote really stood out to me. We spend so much time and effort having our horses do what we want for us. Taking more time to think about how they perceive us in what we do around them, will ensure that we are doing our very best to be fair and ethical. Good food for thought as we enter a new year! ☺️

ESF LLC had a great horse show at world equestrian center last week! The horses did so well, and everyone progressed in their riding. Can’t wait to go back! 😊

This past weekend ESF LLC had a great show at Brave Horse!

Congratulations to Monica Oliver and her WONDERFUL horse Sirocco! This was their first time showing here. 1st place in an under saddle and 6th place (out of 25) in the 2'6" derby. We are so thrilled with the progress they have made!

Also champion in the USHJA and blue in all of the blue/red schooling classes with Liz Scoville riding. Couldn't have asked for a better weekend! 😊

Stevie on the left is 26 this year, he is hanging out with his friend who is 36!

I am honored to keep this guy happy and healthy in his retirement. Supporting a horse through its whole life is a big commitment. What they do for us, they deserve the best we can give back ☺️
