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!
hi i was reading your blog about needing a new saddle. I also wanted a saddle that was cheap and has good leather so i could ride when i take lesson. As I was searching I found a website called tackwholesale.com the website sells saddles for cheap. the name of the saddle is a paris jack close contact saddle. its normal tree is very narrow and it may fit your horse, also it is comfortable and the only bad part is you may need to order a half size larger because it does run a bit small. the saddle alone is only about 300 dollars and you can order a seven piece set which brings a pair of stirrups, two stirrup leathers, a saddle pad, a saddle cover and the saddle. the whole set is about 500 dollars but is a pretty good buy. hope you think this was helpful finding your saddle
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!
Hello! I absolutely love your blog and I love your videos! I think it is fantastic that you and Frankie and working very hard so you guys can go to Rolex competitions! You inspire me! I have always wanted to go Rolex and then Olympics, but I am only 13, so it’s gonna be a while. I don’t even have my own horse yet, but I have it all planned out! Thank you very much for posting and sharing your dreams with us!

Best wishes and good luck this weekend!!!!!
Back in “my day” there were always complaints about the footing at Stoneleigh-Burnham. Don’t give up on eventing yet.

How’d you and Frankie do at Town Hill? No results are up yet.
