Kristine, You are insane! First event and going out training? Well, my words of advice:1). make your dressage test accurate-transitions, circles, etc. 2).know the rules-very important! 3).have a blast 4).try not to get hurt! Good luck Tricia
I first found out about you from your videos on Youtube (which I find amazing, the best Equestrian related ones out there I believes). But the more I find out about the pair of you, the more amazed I am about your skill of riding and the bond you seem to have with Frankie.
You really do possess something special, and the love you have for him is evident.
Goodluck out there, great riders understand their horses and put them before anything else. That’s what makes them work so well as a team. I believe you possess this, so again Goodluck in everything you do with Frankie and any other horses that may cross your path later in life.
Just checking in. Sounds like something is going on with Frankie & maybe it’s not just the vagueries (sp?) of eventing. I’m disappointed for you both as I thought it would be a fun challenge
Maybe you need to have a session with Eric over the winter!
The bond you guys have is truly amazing. I work on that with the horses i ride. You can make it to Rolex! I cant wait to see you WIN too! Go team!
You should try alittle Endurance Riding. I heard it really builds up good mucsle in both horse and rider, and Frankie is already in-shape.
Maybe Parelli too.
GOOD LUCK!
We know you can do it!
I wish you and Frankie the greatest of luck! I ride english too and jump with a pony named Sneaky. We’ve been in a show before and got 4 blue ribbons, 1 red, 1 white, a reserved champion ribbon and a champion ribbon! I hope to keep getting more experienced with jumping and with you too!
Kristine Oakhurst encounters mud, splashes, grass stains, and dirt on the Road to the Rolex 3 day Event. Follow her and her partner, Frankie as they start from scratch after making the switch from Open Jumpers.

Back in “my day” there were always complaints about the footing at Stoneleigh-Burnham. Don’t give up on eventing yet.
