on a journey with his human to FEI Level Dressage
I had the vet out for a routine checkup on Fritz this past Thursday. Since he has some chronic right hind suspensory issues, I wanted to get him evaluated and make sure we were staying ahead of the curveball in regards to pain, inflammation, and issues popping up in that leg. What started out as Read More …
I have been struggling with getting my trailer organized in a fashion where I could easily get to everything I needed to. I tried a plastic garage cabinet system, a husky rolling trunk, and FINALLY think I’ve figured out the best option! I decided to gridwall my trailer. After doing a million searches on Pinterest Read More …
I have been slacking lately on my posts! That whole life thing getting in the way. Recently I worked with Lisa Holbrook of Soul Discussions and did a communication session with Fritz. Whether you believe in animal communication or not – I think we can all agree we wish that we could more effectively communicate with Read More …
Fritz and I made the trek to Julie Goodnight’s Facility in Salida, CO on Tuesday evening. As you may remember, we went to film our episodes of Horse Master (there will be 2), with Julie Goodnight and Dale Myler. Once we arrived, it felt like the red carpet was rolled out (but with horses around Read More …

The weekend of May 6-7, Fritz and I competed in our first FEI classes, doing the Prix St. George test. I truly couldn’t be more proud of our efforts or accomplishments at the show. A couple of years ago, when I first started in dressage with Fritz, 2nd level seemed unattainable and like an “upper level Read More …
I’m so excited I could cry or throw up, I’m not sure which. Fritz and I are entered in our first show at the FEI levels, doing Prix St. George! Even better it is a show to benefit breast cancer, to which my mom is a survivor of. (If you want to sponsor this amazing Read More …
Something I recently reflected on: how I have grown as a rider. I remember a year ago; you could have asked me what I needed to work on and my answer would have been “everything”. I was technically riding the same level then as I am now (with some lameness/time-off in between). But I was Read More …
With Fritz, I have always been on guard due to the MANY times he’s thrown me or tried to. These last few months have been nothing short of extraordinary in regards to building my trust with him. From being able to ride him in a field alone at a canter a couple months ago, to Read More …
