Rumple’s ready to get back in the ring! 🦁 With horse shows cautiously resuming, we’re starting to plan out our return to competition and our 2020 show calendar. Which shows should be on our list? 😊

Dapples like Kasper’s start from the inside out! 😍🐴 We feed primarily Cavalor and supplement each horse with the Platinum Performance supplements that are right for them.

We asked for your questions, and Deb S. asked what it’s like to ride Rumple! 😊 The answer in only emojis would be something like this: 🌶🏎💨🚀🌟😍
Rumple is hot, hot, hot! She loves to show and is always game with so much potential. Even though she’s only 7, you never feel that a course is too big or too technical; she always has scope and power to spare!

Kasper van het Leliehof’s quarantine routine is all about staying fit while also keeping things relaxed! Throughout any given week, he and Hannah Selleck are alternating trail ride days, hacks in the ring (generally about three times a week), lunging, and popping over the occasional bounces and singles.

Currently missing: the show ring and wearing Cavalleria Toscana show coats. 💕 (Extra thankful that they also make such great breeches, shirts, bonnets, and saddle pads for schooling at home.)

"California here she comes, right back where she started from. Californiaaa." 🎶
While much of the Descanso team is still in Florida, Barla is on her way back to the West Coast where she'll layover in California before heading to Wild Turkey Farm in Oregon!
