Thank you so much to Cha Ching's mom for catching this GREAT moment! There's more to the video, of course, but this part is spectacular. Rather than be alarmed, I was ecstatic when I saw it. What a great confidence builder to see yourself thrown so far off balance only to recover immediately. Love it!

Ride 'em cowgirl! You said he could get frisky, but until now, he has always been the cute little gentleman when I'm around!

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.
