I began riding at six years old. I continued riding and taking lessons in New Orleans. The horse bug bit me and I have been riding and showing since. My main discipline was showing American Saddlebreds saddle seat but also rode in a variety of disciplines.
Five years ago, I was introduced to dressage. It was very convenient for me as there are about 10 to 14 shows a year just a short drive from my house. With my daughter’s encouragement, I chose to start learning dressage.
Heather Truett told me about The Century Club and I was immediately interested. Her horse was the perfect age and so was I! I took on the challenge. Waikiki came into Heather’s life out of retirement as a 24-year-old. A great schoolmaster horse that has brought much joy to my life.
