Training Cupid
I started riding around age 11, dabbling in vaulting, trail riding, jumping, and pony club through my teens. I took my horse Dee to college with me, but by then she was semi-retired. After law school and starting my career, I eventually got Cupid as a three year old off the track! He raced 12 times, with 1 win and a few other in the money finishes. He is very friendly (loves all horses and people), usually laid back, and a quick learner. He seems to like jumping, but also has a nice rhythm and aptitude for dressage. This blog is about our journey together.
