What’s the best thing you’ve learned recently? Chad and I have finally started working together on the flat instead of fighting each other. Dressage is still our weakpoint though.
Favorite eventing moment/story? Finishing my first Prelim and have Melissa Beardsley, who imported Chad, tell me that she was impressed by my ride. And then realizing that she used to run him cross country in the same bit Boyd Martin ran the Olympics in.
