If you're a Facebook friend, you've already seen this! But in an effort to show the rest of the world that EVERYONE starts at the bottom, I am putting this out there for the world to see, gulp! Every YouTube video I watch shows these great riders riding great horses. You won't find that here. What you will see is a horse and riding trying very hard! I had a great lesson with my dressage coach on Monday. She is an awesome teacher and I am a good student, just not a fast learner. She helps me to feel so confident and accomplished after the ride, but videos bring me back to reality! Learning to be a better dressage rider would no doubt be easier on a school master (a well trained horse), but since it's just the Speedy pony and me, we'll get there when we get there! In the meantime, here's a bit of my ride from Monday. By the way, the music is by the Trailer Choir and the song is called, "Wal-mart Flowers." Comments are closed.

About the Writer and RiderI am a lifelong rider.
I began endurance riding in 1996 where I ultimately completed five, one-day 100 mile races, the 200-mile Death Valley Encounter, and numerous other 50, 65, and 75 mile races. I began showing dressage in 2010. Welcome to my dressage journey.
