Hello everyone. I took a little bit of a break from this group - not because I felt any less passionate about it, but because I had a lot of in-person work to do with riders and that divided my attention. One of my big goals for 2026 is to continue to grow this community. I feel strongly that a supportive community is such an important part of a rider's confidence journey. Please bring any and all of your questions to this group. The questions that you all raise are not questions that only you have - and sometimes other people will ask questions we didn't know we had either. If you're not already, follow me on IG @nwdressage and Tiktok @nwdressage2 where I already have some video content posted. But in the meantime, keep your ideas coming. Answer the following two questions: What was your toughest moment this year? What was your best moment?

You might’ve seen this trend around social media, but I couldn’t resist creating a confident rider action figure for the group. What do you think? Would you guys buy one? 😄🐴
