When I look back I realize that when Chelsea came to us she was nuthin more than a squirt.
We promptly christened her "The Dweeb" and she quickly found her place at the very bottom of the Dubin Farms' Totem Pole. She couldn't saddle her own horse, there was no way she could mount by herself, and when she loped, or should I say TRIED to lope, she leaned back so far her pony tail hit her horse's fanny!!!!
We actually had a HUGE celebration the first time Chels and made it all the way around the show pen at a lope without breaking !!!!!! That being said.....................She's come a long way baby!!!
Now she is a World Champion, APHA Top 20 Rider, #1 Zone Champion, and one of the best riders I have ever had the opportunity to coach.
She is now showing Real Player, 16.3 hands of handsome horse. She has taken him from a greenbroke two year old and is on her way to earning his APHA Championship. Trust me when I tell you........when Chelsea sets her mind on something, she makes it happen !
