Never in my imagination would I have thought I’d be writing about a second Century Club dressage ride! Two years ago, my wonderful instructor, Samantha Southard, suggested this as a goal as I began to ride again after almost 20 years. Her horse, Buttercup, and I did a walk-only test which inspired me so much that I decided I wanted a horse of my own.
Soon afterward, my daughter, Jen, found a great Quarter Horse named Mojito. He and I began working toward another dressage test, this time a walk/trot. Two years down the road, we did it! How wonderful to have Jen, Sam, and my dear barn family cheering me on.
Thank you so much for these opportunities. You have been a great inspiration to those of us who have a lot of “experience” to continue to find joy in riding.
