That’s a wrap Coconino I & II 2018 was an adventure to remember! Ridiculously proud of both my horses- Reginald was a total BABE and won the Intermediate challenge as well as the horse trials, and the flamboyant Frenchie grew up SO much these 2 weekends, what a 🌟 for the future! @joanna_dillon Biggest thrill tho was watching my mini-me @avie_equestrian who was a total #legend , groom extraordinaire, and serious competitor. It’s one thing to be the hardest training 12 yr old at home, but to come to her first recognized shows and work even harder 2 weeks running is quite a feat! She definitely caught the eye of several pros, as well she should have. @rivi4 We made some FABULOUS new friends (t minus 18 months new bff @austineventing 🙌🏼🤗) and my faith in the Eventing camaraderie has been restored. Ya for friends, fun and Flagstaff! Until next time… 💙 @carly3atkinson @dynamicequestrian @austineventing @lauraborg66 @leavitt86

Show us what ‘ya got EN:

Fanny was absolutely incredible this weekend! I can’t get over how perfect she was! We had a solid dressage test—with nice comments from the judge—a foot perfect double clear stadium round, and a beautiful double clear XC run to end up in sixth!! I’m so very proud of this nugget. She never complains and is the most reliable being EVER!! Thank you to @eventingvegas being the best older sister and always helping me out (and the bomb ass pictures are also amazing) – – – The entire weekend I rocked my @ellanyequestrian products and fanny was comfortable in her half pad!! Use code “ErinL10” at checkout!!

So proud of Mia this weekend! She completed her first event on her dressage score after going double clear on stadium and XC today! She handled the commotion quite well for a 4 year old, other than a more distracted than usual dressage test. She went home with a pretty ribbon in 10th out of 25. So thrilled to have gotten to experience this with the first horse I have started under saddle by myself, and only a summer ago. Thank you to her wonderful owner for trusting me with her special prospect!

We redeemed ourselves after last weekend and i couldn’t be more proud of him for tackling a challenging XC course and proving to me that he’s ready for training at fair hill! Clearly he’s thrilled :))
