Sharon White in dressage land

The power of orange

My good friend Rebecca Polan, who is a Virginia eventer now focusing on dressage with her former upper level horse, just sent me this quick email about Sharon White.  Sharon, of course, broke her hip in a fall at Fair Hill last October and it’s great to hear that she is back to competing.  I spoke with Sharon a few weeks ago and she told me that her recovery is going well and she is excited for her doctors to let her return to eventing.  Bur for now, it’s all circles for Sharon:

From Rebecca:

I am down in sunny southern Florida (Wellington) getting my dressage on. I just arrived this past Friday and was helping my coach, Pati Pierucci, out at a show yesterday and today. I was maybe a little too excited when I looked up and saw none other than the amazing Sharon White pulling into the show grounds. A friendly and familiar face! I say amazing because even though we don’t really know each other, she always recognizes me and says hello, she is really one of the friendliest professionals I’ve ever met.

I also say amazing because she is down here practicing her dressage while she waits for her body to heal enough to start jumping. She reminded me that she fractured her hip and pelvis just this past fall… I’m not sure how many horses she was riding but it was a bunch, and as far as I could tell she had memorized all of her tests! She told me that she’s been riding with Linda Zang and just soaking it all up while she heals. I just love it when horse people aren’t afraid to branch out into other horse worlds, for whatever reason. I wish more riders would give it a try.
