About Me:
I'm a 14 year old, dressage crazy teen! I ride Dressage, showing US Training level, schooling US First Level. I've been riding for 5 years and have done Western, Dressage, and Hunters, with Dressage being my ultimate favorite. I have dreams of becoming the first American to win the Olympic Individual Dressage Gold Medal, and I know we can't do it on our measly scores of 75%, but in the 80's.

I haven't shown Dressage much, I'm doing US Training 3 & 4 tests this year, with my Training 3 high score of 68.4%, and my Training 4 high score of 70.4% (at my first attempt in the show ring!!)

Hi Erika,
Great dream to win at the OLympics. I'm also dressage crazy. What kind of schedule would you have to have in order to be on the Olympic team?

Hi Erika, You may want to also ask your "heels down" question in the Eurodressage group. I have gotten some good advice there. p.s. I watched your video and your heels look like they are down enough for dressage. Does your coach say they need to be down more?Perhaps if you want them a bit steadier, you can shorten your stirrups a half-hole. Pretty horse!!
