2014 Aspen Farms Fall H.T. - Video
These are all cell phone videos so they’re not great (especially the dressage and stadium) but I wanted to post them for the complete experience.
XC is just the first jump.

2014 Aspen Farms Fall H.T. - Three Days, Three Ways
If you look at the official score (100.9), it probably looks like Dandy really struggled at Training level and that this was not a successful move up. But that thought couldn’t be further from the truth.

I had a wonderful lesson on Dandy last night. As I got on I could tell that his head was just not ready to be 100% focused on me so I was a little bit wary about how this lesson was going to go. Even JLE commented on it telling me that he had been…

Three Strides Late
I am finally getting a moment to sit down and write about that awesome lesson I had on Tuesday. Because it was awesome. Super hard and I feel like I’m not quite where I want to be yet, but I got through every jump.
I was super excited to do some jumping…
