Our First Grand Prix

This past weekend I rode my first Grand Prix with Vitall. We did the Under 25 Young Rider GP. I was so excited after my test I almost cried. Vitall gave me such a great feeling from warm-up to the final salute. We really felt like a team in there. I was a bit nervous […]

Family Time

I had a great 10 days with my mom. It was nice to show her around Uden and she put a mommy’s touch on my house. My carnet (travel documents) is all in order now, so we are good for one more year! Sadly, I have no pictures as my camera decided it didn’t want […]

Coast of Holland

This past weekend I went to the Coast of Holland. It felt like I was somewhere else when we arrived. The first thing I saw was a sea of kite surfers and wind surfers. It was very, very windy! My hair was everywhere, but Oslo loved it. He was running around like a mad man. […]

Recent Adventures

It had everything from interior design and health/wellness to fashion. It was all boutique fashion from special designers. It was in this old cottage/ country […]

Consistent 20

Never mind 15 1 tempis for the Grand Prix, Vitall and I are managing to bang off 20 now almost every day. A big smile breaks across my face every time we finish a line and in my head I’m dancing around in circles going: “yes, yes, yes!” I have also been working on other […]

All In The Timing

1 tempis, 1 tempis…I’m going to be skipping in my sleep any night now. That has been the main focus in training lately – trying to get the 1 tempis solid. But I am getting so mad at my legs. I feel when I should react, but my right leg is just not responding. Sometimes […]

Back in training…

I’m back across the pond from a great ten days at home. The trip was really nice and I had a great birthday party with friends I hadn’t seen in a while and, of course, my family. I spent a lot of time with my little nephew Liam at the park with the dogs. Oslo flew back and […]

Inspiration

This post is dedicated to Erica Brant, a Para Equestrian I heard about that shows extreme determination to achieve her goal. I found her story so inspiring that I thought I would share it with you. I have chosen to sponsor her to help her achieve her goals and, once you’ve heard her story, I hope you will […]

Home In Vancouver

I’m back home in Vancouver right now for the next 10 days. While I was in trasit, I had to go through the scanners in Amsterdam for the first time. Normally when I travel they’re always broken or have problems but this time I got to experience it. You really feel silly standing in this […]
