Phillip and the crew are on their way back from the American Eventing Championships. Things went pretty well, but everyone who had faults knew they could have changed things to make them better. Final Results: Advanced (6) Phillip – 2nd Nate – 3rd Jennie – 6th Intermediate (16) Jennie –…
I haven’t updated in a while, mostly because it has just been crazy getting settled here at True Prospect. Things with me are going so much better after a bit of a rocky start getting used to the craziness that is here! My horse Sully is doing loads…
Day 1 of me as a working student for Phillip Dutton. The trip was about 3 hours from Northern VA to here in West Grove, PA. I ended up paying about $32 in tolls on I-95. One toll was $23! It was just crazy. I can definitely tell here…

This week (Sunday May 17-Wednesday May 20) was spent in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. My housemates at Salem and I decided to take a pre-graduation beach trip since we had a week of free time between final exams and the actual graduation ceremony. After a bit of hotel…
