I would like to thank you The Dressage Foundation for the generous grant which helped me to pursue my training goals in Florida last winter.  

I used the funds towards training fees with Lisa Hellmer for January through March. With Lisa's expert tutelage, I was initiated into the world of Grand Prix Para Dressage competition and I am now a FEI 3* competitor! I competed at all three CPEDIs in Florida this winter on Lisa's wonderful horse, Aniko, and earned a spot on the long list for this year's Paralympic Games. Going forward, I am excited to utilize this training and apply my skills towards international competitions with my horse, Beaulieu's Simply Cool. I am excited to see what she and I can accomplish.
