The road to WEG is extremely exciting. June was like a fast paced marathon course competing in the Garden State Driving Event in Allentown, New Jersey and at the Bromont International Driving Event in Quebec, Canada. Both competitions I had the opportunity to work with my less experienced horses and play with their strengths and weaknesses.
The marathon course at Bromont proved to be quite challenging but my team stepped up to the plate and successfully navigated the course. My young horse Reno really stood out and maintained a very consistent work ethic despite the difficult terrain. My team is really coming together and I am so proud of them all.
Coming up this week will be the Iron Horse CDE in Illinois, July 30th to August 1st. This will be my last competition before heading home to continue preparing my team for WEG. I will not only compete at Iron Horse but will be participating in some really exciting events. I was a guest on the local BNNS Radio Show, helping to promote the Iron Horse competition to the surrounding communities. Also I will be teaming up with my sponsors Charles Owen and SUCCEED in a helmet donation to the Habitat for Humanities silent auction. Our goal is to help raise awareness of "Riders4Helmets" through "Drivers 4 Helmets". One lucky silent auction winner will receive a Charles Owen helmet certificate.
I look forward to competing at The World Equestrian Games this year and don't forget to look for me at my sponsor's booths at WEG.
