On Saturday, April 26, 2025, my mare Just Call On Me, aka Call, and I did our Century Club ride at the CPDS Western Dressage Show at Valley View Equestrian Center in Stillwater, OK. At 73 for me and 27 for Call, we are definitely long young and loving it. CPDS said that Call and I were their first Western Dressage pair to join the Century Club, making the day even more special. It’s hard to believe that Call and I have only been together since October 2022. She found me shortly after my horse, Tres of Sugar, aka Red, died suddenly. I am privileged and blessed to ride most of my adult life. Horses have enriched my life and taught me so much. Call has taught me the power of rewarding the positive. We have come a very long way as partners. I trust her and she returns that trust to me many times over. Dressage was a new and surprising experience for Call, whose original training was in Western Pleasure. In our time together, she has discovered that she can move out without reprimand and that she really likes to move. We have done well in our competitions, but I am most proud of her progress in being able to relax around other horses. Thanks to my wonderful and supportive riding family for helping her achieve this relaxation! Bottom line, Call is an amazing ride! I look forward to continuing the ride with this lovely dragon.
