Not-So-Speedy Dressage
From Endurance to Dressage
This month was also slightly cheaper than the summer months were. Hubby and I have finally finalized our summer vacation plans which means that I now have to really watch what I spend over the next 7 months, especially since I also got a recent pay cut. We like to travel, but leaving the country is expensive. We didn't go anywhere this past summer because we got the puppy so I had extra money to spend on shows and clinics. That won't be the case for 2013.
I am not going to not show next year, but I might not get to do the over-nighters, especially three of them, like I did this year. The Tehachapi shows are on the list since they're as local as I can get. Aside from that, I haven't thought much about what shows to do in 2013. I'll see what my budget looks like after the new year rolls around.

Yeah for the Tehachapi shows! Perhaps, you'll be riding multiple horses on multiple tests :) It's hard to believe that, while winter has not yet arrived, spring will be here before we know it. I'm already getting butterflies...there's so much work to be done!

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. About Speedy GSpeedy went from endurance horse to dressage horse. After helping me earn a USDF Bronze medal in the summer of 2020, he is now semi-retired. Speedy is a 2004, 15'1 hand, purebred Arabian gelding. His Arabian Horse Registry name is G Ima Starr FA.
About IzzyIzzy was started as a four-year old and then spent the next 18 months in pasture growing up. I bought him as a six-year old, and together, we are showing at the lower levels. He is a 2008, 16'3 hand warmblood gelding. His Rheinland Pfalz-saar International (RPSI) name is Imperioso.
