Horses can be found all over the country but Marion County, Florida boasts the highest concentration of these magnificent creatures compared to any other county in the nation. As a devoted Classical Pilates instructor, I am inherently drawn to authenticity and structure. This year marked my debut in strictly dressage competitions, where my dedication paid off as we clinched victories in level one and two at the regionals. With these achievements, I am now two-thirds of the way towards securing my USDF (United States Dressage Federation) Bronze Medal.
