on a journey with his human to FEI Level Dressage
This post is really delayed due to some serious shit in my personal life (I’m super lucky to be alive), and it is going to be a long one with LOTS of adorable baby horse photos.

The 2017 FEI General Assembly recently took place in Montevideo, Uruguay. One of the big topics up for discussion were changes to the Collective Marks on FEI dressage tests.
