Dressage training has been under way full force, and the students and trainers have been working their tails off endlessly..but it pays off! After days training, exhaustion, being sick, organization (and some confusion), the goal was finally reached! Blue Moon Equestrian Center took four horses to the Fairfield Dressage Show in Denton, Texas - and cleaned up! Kira Weeks and "Mr. Peepers" took second and third, Laurel Burns and "Gamble on Grace" took second and fourth, and Caitlin Kobiske and "Nocturne's Last Lady" won both blue ribbons! What a day - it is so fulfilling to see my students doing so well - in and out of the show ring. They were so professional and dedicated..true champions in my book :)

Team work and support is what it's all about!
Success would not have been possible without my awesome intern, Jordan. She is always by my side, ready to help with anything. She is dedicated, professional, knowledgable, and a great teacher to the students. I am so thankful she is a part of the Blue Moon family!
Kelly and Lauren were also extremely helpful. They helped groom, tack up horses, and got the students ready and where they needed to be. Thank you!!
I would like to welcome Lauren Bessert and her 6 year old Shire gelding, Tonka, to Blue Moon. Lauren is a freshman at Tarleton and we are excited to have her at the barn!
Congratulations to Kira Weeks on her lease with "Mr. Peepers"! We hope you have fun and learn a lot!
