It’s Friday! What does that mean? Just a few more hours of daily grind until you are free for a glorious weekend. I hope. Or, just another day spent feeding and caring for horses. But, Friday also means another opportunity to meet a member of the EN family. Today is Risa, from St. Louis, MO.
FEATURED RIDER:
Name: Risa
Age: 25
Location: St. Louis, MO
Primary horse’s name: Trembling Tyrant (Ty)
Age, breed, pertinent info: 14, OTTB, 16.2 Bay. Will be for sale next year.
Level currently competing: moving up to Training this month 🙂
Short term goals this spring/summer:
Compete successfully at training level and attend AEC’s for novice. Keeping Ty sound!! He was raced until he was 6, so he has a lot of wear and tear on his hind end. We qualified for the AEC’s last year and were prepared for our move up to training, but he went lame.
He is on Royal Champion supplements and gets regularly adjusted by the chiropractor, and those two things have kept him strong and healthy so far this year!
Year-end goals:
Take my young horse to her first event. TNT Fancy Free, 5yo TB. owned for 1 month.
Oh and I also am taking name suggestions, for her stable name?? Please help!
Overall goals?
Work on training my young horse and eventually competing at Prelim. I want to rescue and train OTTB for eventing.
I am also going to school to become an equine chiropractor. If you have never had your horse adjusted I would highly recommended, it can make an incredible difference. ( I will be expecting all you EN supporters as clients in 4 years 🙂
What’s the best thing you’ve learned recently?
I’ve just really been working on myself and getting my position and aids fine tuned, so I can help my horses as much as possible. I have finally realized the importance of dressage, so although I jumping will always be my first love, I am learning to like dressage as well.
Favorite eventing moment/story? Winning IEA last month. First time winning a recognized HT.
