As a two year old, I had already been around horses but had not yet had the opportunity to ride. Then it happened, my first lesson on the morgan English pleasure mare Outrageous Fortune. At 13, I still remember it to this day. By the time I was four that spicy old mare was taking me around the ring by myself, later that year I showed lead-line on another horse. That's how it went until I was six or seven, ride her walk-trot saddle seat at home, show other horses lead-line hunt seat or western, that's how it went until 2010 brought her passing. I miss that mare and still love her to death, but I had many opportunities with Highover Everlasting and Highover French Krystle. Now I'm riding Raintree Valedictorian, and incredibly talented world champion classic pleasure gelding. We left our first two shows with blues and our second with two champion titles. At the time I'm writing this we are about two weeks before the 2015 New England Morgan Regional Horse Show, and oh I can't wait.
