Red is my favorite color! I can not make out the scores from the pictures but looks like you and Speedy had a great day! Love all the photos - makes me feel just a little warmer here in IN :)

Kelly - scores were 69% and 67% - or thereabouts! And yeah ... sunny CA; hard to complain about our winters!

About the
Writer & Rider

I am a lifetime 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.
