Hi dressage family,
After a lot of discussion with the team, we’ve decided not to include Indian Rock in our summer championship team plans this year.
Rocky has given us an incredible season, and we couldn’t be more proud of everything he has accomplished. He has exceeded our expectations in every way, and we feel the best decision for him right now is to enjoy a well earned break and some time to simply be a horse.
We believe that building great horses for the long term means knowing when to continue forward and when to give them the opportunity to recharge. Rocky has taken us on an amazing journey this year (one we couldn’t have dreamed up any better💖), and we want to set him up for continued success in the years ahead.
We are incredibly grateful for the support of our entire team and the many people who have cheered Rocky on every step of the way.
This summer, we’ll be proudly cheering on the rest of Team USA, including Christian and our handsome “lion,” Fleau de Baian.
Thank you for being part of Rocky’s story. .simonson, .lyle and I can’t wait to see what the future holds for this very special horse. 🧡
