I feel connected to my horse when:
After a wonderful workout together, it feels so rewarding to go out on the trail with my horse and be together in nature enjoying the sunshine out in the park.
Why I love Kerrits:
I love the style and comfort. I always get compliments wherever I wear my Kerrits, whether it's at the barn, a show, or even out on the town! I love that there is clothing for every type of weather and horse activity.
My most memorable moment as a rider:
So many In my dressage work, it's learning the basic things and simple (though not easy) things - such as the moment I realized I had really learned to pick up the canter with just my seat bones. A recent memorable moment was when I had the opportunity to swim on a horse in Jamaica. It was so magical, I could feel myself smiling!
My favorite place to buy Kerrits:
Stablemates in Mt. Airy, MD and The Surrey in Darnestown, MD
