Today the girls took part in their very first Dressage Show 🐴🤍

So proud of them for stepping into the arena, trying something new, and giving it their all. Dressage is not easy — it takes patience, discipline, courage, and so much hard work behind the scenes.

Iwanke and Calela Krisant
■Walk & Trot Introductory Level

Test 1 -1st place 🏆
Test 2 -2nd place 🏅

Lianca and Melody
■Adult & Junior walk & Trot Introductory Level

Test 1-1st place 🏆
Test 2 -2nd place 🏅

Today wasn’t about perfect scores — it was about courage, growth, and stepping out of the arena with a smile every single time 🐴🤍

That’s what this sport is really about — learning, improving, and loving the journey with your horse along the way. The ribbons are just a bonus ✨

SASJ Year end awards evening!

Tonight is not only about the ribbons, the points or the perfect rounds… it’s about every early morning, every late night, every tear after a bad round, every fall that made you get back up stronger, and every penalty that taught you something new.
Carli, your dedication and hard work never go unnoticed. ❤️

Horses teach us that success is not measured by never making mistakes, but by the courage to keep going after them. Every setback, every missed stride, and every difficult moment became part of the rider you are today. And most important is that even after a bad round or penalties that you will always leave the arena with a smile x

Be proud of how far you’ve come, because behind every achievement stands a story of resilience, passion, and heart. The falls may bruise us, the penalties may humble us, but they also shape us into stronger riders and stronger people.

Well done Carli! 2nd In the Adult 70cm in Mpumalanga! 🏅 🏆

Keep working but also enjoy the journey ♡♤
