As a trainer I love sharing training tips....... How to train a perfectly square halt for your dressage test... 1) enter the Rose Parade. 2) walk behind a slow-moving float with a country band - live drums included playing for 2 hrs. 3) Ride a BLM Mustang gathered from the wild, quickly explain that a parade is logical. 4) Be sure your Stallion is surrounded by horses that have no respect for body space. 5.) ride one handed so you can wave... Score a 10.

Well, they say things always happen in 3's. I don't know if I believe that. But I had 3 surgeries this month, I had 3 breakdowns with my truck, I have 3 horses on stall rest. Then I had 2 absolutely unbelievable, unexpected moments when the National yearend leaderboard results were announced, and I have the #1 Lusitano in the NATION! as well as the number #2 horse for the L2 open division in the whole USA!
But nothing could have prepared me for good luck item #3.... I AM RIDING IN THE ROSE PARADE!! You heard right RFDTV -The Cowboy Channel float honoring the American Cowgirl choose me to be an outrider to honor the American Cowgirl!! I will be riding my 13 yr old BLM Branded Kiger Mustang Stallion - 'Kiger Dios Estoy Aqui KCA' or 'Dime' as he is known to his friends next to entry #66 the Cowboy Channel/Cowgirl Channel Float. In the 72 hrs. since the phone call, I have gathered every bit of Buckaroo gear I felt I needed to carry down the boulevard to honor all the buckaroos that made an impact in my life. I have attached the list of what Dime and I will be wearing. See you on TV!

THIS IS WORKING EQUITATION! An international sport, where a rider who learns Working Equitation in the USA can participate in a WE competition anywhere in the world! This is my friend and client who retired to Mexico a year ago. Competing in her 2nd Mexico WE competition. (Please note there is a problem with the Gira results as the dressage is not registering, she did DQ in EOH but won the speed! 4th overall).
She is riding a Kiger Mustang, a branded USA BLM mustang from the wilds of the USA. (I adopted Kali the same time I adopted Robin Bond’s Kiger Zapata KCA.. so proof USA Bred horses can rock in WE). Pictures of me competing on Kiger Kalypso in the USA and owner Chris riding her in Mexico!! THIS IS WORKING EQUITATION!!!
