Previously on Dressage Gone Wild...

A woman with a dream and graduate student's budget set out to find an FEI level dressage prospect to bring along and turn into a star.  As is the case in many stories, she found her hero in an unexpected place. Not in the big, robust warmblood colts, but in this mild-mannered kid.

Alpha Helix: Kiger mustang colt at 5 months old.

Their bond was immediate and strong, and grew stronger as time passed.  This allowed them to take on the seemingly impossible.

Saddling

Cross tying and saddling at the same time!

It seemed as if there was nothing they couldn't conquer! With these early accomplishments strapped firmly under their belts, they strode boldly forward into the world of dressage.  This is their story.

It's been awhile since I've written, and a lot has happened in my life since then.  I went from training  nights and weekends to training full time. I moved to a new barn with a little more space for my business to grow. I got married (OMG!), and I got a part time research job at Oregon State to supplement my horsey income.  Life is good to say the least.

A few things are still the same though.  I still have Helix, the little love of my life, and I still have Kalvin though I am actively seeking a person to lease him, or a working student to ride him.  Helix will be starting ground driving and work in-hand soon, so I figured it would be a perfect time to pick the blog back up.   Hope you all enjoy following the progress of my little munchkin!
