Erin Root has joined us for the winter season and is currently training multiple horses. Alaina (4 yrs old this year) has turned out to be extremely talented for both jumping and dressage. Look for her in the show ring later this season.

Flannigan (2007 16.3 1/2h gelding by Tanzeln out of Fire Angel by Emeer), ridden by Erin Root is now showing at both training level dressage (with scores in the high 60's) and at eventing! He won his first beginner novice rated CT and his first novice CT schooling show on his dressage score as a 4 year old.

Kiera (by Tanzeln out of Korinna by Memelruf) is home and is being ridden by Lupe Guarderas. Her training is progressing and she is showing 1st and 2nd level this season. She continues to be a "joy to train and ride". She has her sire's "FEI-quality" canter and is showing talent for piaffe.
