🥇 GOLD MEDAL!!! 🥇
I AM SPEECHLESS. ELATED. EMOTIONAL. And honestly… still trying to process this!!! 🤩🐴✨
Today, I earned my USDF Gold Medal with a final score of 66.957%!!! 🥇🏆
And I have to say it loud: EXCALIBUR RS, YOU ARE INCREDIBLE. ❤️
This horse has taught me SO much. He has shared his unbelievable talent, athleticism, generosity, and willingness with me every step of the way. I am endlessly grateful for everything he has given me and for every lesson he has taught me.
And the best part? He owes me absolutely nothing. ❤️🐴
I owe SO much to my horses and to my entire team. There are more people to thank than I could ever fit into one post—every person who has supported me, coached me, groomed, trained, encouraged, believed, celebrated, and helped get us to this moment… THANK YOU. This medal belongs to all of you, too. ❤️
It’s hard to believe that in January I rode my very first I-1 test, and now—just months later—I have my USDF Gold Medal!!! 🤯🥇
What a journey. What a privilege. What a horse. What a team. What a day!!!
I am SO, SO, SO HAPPY!!! 🥹❤️🎉
And while I am absolutely going to celebrate this moment, I also know there is plenty of room to improve, learn, grow, and keep chasing the next goal. That’s part of what makes this sport so incredibly addictive!
Today, though, I’m going to soak it ALL in. ❤️
GOLD MEDAL. 🥇

Thank you, Excalibur RS. Thank you to my horses. Thank you to my incredible team. And thank you to everyone who has been part of this journey.
WE DID IT!!! 🥇🐴❤️🎉
