Earlier this year I committed to making a dream a reality. I have long awaited my chance to represent the US by competing overseas and my heart and sights are set on Blenheim this September. I know after a banner spring season that Favian is up for the challenge! We are lucky enough that one of the top riders in the world, William Fox Pitt, is willing to mentor us at his training base in England. While there, I’ve also been asked to judge one of the most prestigious 4* competitions in the UK, Blair Castle.

As excited as I am about this adventure, I have to be realistic that it comes with a hefty price tag. That’s even before I can consider sending Theodore, although I can’t imagine Favian making this trip without him! I am seeking multiple avenues of raising funds to give Favian, Theodore, and myself this experience.
