I am not a dressage rider. I just play one in the arena.

I started dressage at the ripe old age of <cough> 40. I had been a hunter/jumper for 5 years already and finally admitted that I sucked! I just didn’t have the eye for it. I’ve always loved dressage and the beauty and grace of dancing with horses.

I currently ride with an instructor that’s Fourth Level, Center Riding Certified. I sometimes refer to her as the Goddess. She’s done a great job of refining and fine tuning me.

Other things of note: I’m a wife and mother to a teenage boy. We have a Golden Retriever, Chocolate Labrador and a cat. I work full-time in the corporate office of a retail company building catalogs and in store signs.

I hope you enjoy my journey.
