Dressage is Hard – Recap from the Dressage Nationals

I took my two horses to the U.S. Festival of Champions in Lamplight Illinois last month. It was an inspiring experience and I learned a ton. Here are my biggest takeaways from the show.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all of your support and encouragement. Our online community is very special.

Happy Riding!
