I feel like Spring has flown by! I have had so many exciting things already happen this year that I wanted to share them with you! Why? Because you’re my tribe!
I am honestly so thankful to each and every one of you. I never intended to do youtube videos and content creation as a job- I just wanted to help people learn dressage. But now…I’m so thankful I get to wake up each day, ride my horses, share my knowledge with you, and help you Learn, To Love Your Ride.
Rider Position Challenge Updates
We are approaching the end of my 30 Day Rider Position Challenge and I’m starting to see some of the transformations come in. And they look AMAZING. I can’t wait to share them with you. Even if you didn’t participate in the Challenge, be sure to tune in to my LIVE on Thursday June 8th at 6pm on Facebook and/or YouTube when I announce the winners!

These reels have been watched 100s of thousands of times, with one of my most popular hitting over a Million views.
Come see me at the Western States Horse Expo!
June 10-11th I am doing clinic demos at the Western States Horse Expo in Sacramento. This is going to be a great weekend full of education, inspiration, shopping, and of course: meeting new and old friends! I love these events because it gives me a chance to meet you face-to-face instead of just via the Internet. You can check out the schedule here: Schedule – Western States Horse Expo (horsexpo.com) and you can find me at Booth #1006
Success at Temecula CDI
I had an amazing time a couple weekends back at the Temecula CDI. There were a ton of amazing horses competing and I had some great rides with Natasha winning the Grand Prix Freestyle with over 70% and Harvey came in second in the Grand Prix Special with a 66%. Kensington went out and did a great Prix St. George test, check it out here and my voice-over thoughts.
I’m going to Tennessee!
Aden Branch is hosting me for a clinic June 3-4th in Fairview, TN. It’s a mini-symposia style with rides from training through 3rd level throughout the day. Auditing is available, so please come out! $30/day for CTDA members; $45/day for non-CDTA members. RSVP with Bethany Gallagher at kgprawn26@gmail.com

New Partnership with Bemer
You know that I love my horses (who doesn’t!?!), and am happy to announce my newest partnership with Bemer Therapy. Bemer is a low intensity electromagnetic therapy designed to increase blood flow and improve recovery and by extension: performance! I’ve noticed a huge difference in all my horses; but specifically Kensington and Natasha. As an official ‘rep’ now, you can now get all your Bemer therapy thorough my team. Feel free to email us at amelia.newcomb@bemermail.com or here.
