Tell us about your current mount(s) and what you do with them:
I have a 12 year old Holsteiner mare named River Rocks (Roxy). I have only had her for 3 months and we have shown up to tadpole and schooled up to novice. She is such a good girl! I hope to qualify to go to dressage or show jumping for champs this year on her! But we mainly focus on eventing.
