Hi,
Just wanted to send you some pictures of Dessa. She is doing great and we just went to our first Horse Trial in about 2 years...I have a 13 month-old daughter. Dessa was amazing. Just wanted you to see how beautiful she is.
I bought Dessa as a 4 yo when I had been riding only 5 months. I fell in love with her picture over the internet and can remember how excited I was the day we brought her home. She was foaled in the spring of 1999, sired by Excaliber of Flying W Farms. Her dam is Flying W Farms Moment in Time. Over the next two years we began to learn the ropes of dressage and jumping together. I began eventing and Dessa and I competed in 3 schooling shows over the next 2 years. After a year and a half break from showing while I had my first child, we relocated to North Carolina. Dessa and I got back to work, and we competed in our first recognized horse trial in two years at Lumber River Horse Trials at the Carolina Horse Park. Dessa is a brilliant cross-country horse and we had our first double clear stadium round. The last four and a half years have been an amazing journey for me. I could not ask for a kinder, more willing partner than Dessa. And I can only think that the best is yet to come!
Amie
