I want to thank USEF for honoring me with the USEF Reserve National Junior Sportsman Award for 2014.

Sept 4-7 Thank you Joe Fargis for all you’ve done to help me with my riding. Elizabeh said you were the one to go to and she was so right. It has been challenging working with my new arm and a new horse at the same time but you’ve really helped me improve.

I currently have three offspring by SchoenPrincess, that I own and have trained, Haldon, Helios and Huh. I broke Haldon this summer. He is an awesome horse…smart, good mind, good mover and …

Hey, when I used to ride in Night of Amazing Horses, we had a saying “Go Big or Go Home!” Although it was a bit ambitious, I made my Dressage debut in an international competition in Wellington, FL. With much to learn….. all and all, it went well. We just missed making the score needed to qualify for the USET …

It was not planned that I would be showing Olive O this year at WEF, but circumstances resulted in me picking up the ride in the Children’s Hunter the WCHR week of WEF. With each round she just got better and better, jumping higher, tighter and sharper. She is the most amazing mare. By the last round of the classic, …
