This video was from June 29, 2007.
At the time, Brevard was 4 years old (April 2003)
Brevard is a Clydesdale/Dutch Warmblood cross gelding. I’m told that he is out of a Dutch mare by the well-known Dutch Warmblood stallion, Patrick) and his sire’s Clyde.
This video was taken the first day I met and rode Brevard… a “test ride” so to speak. I fell in love with him immediately. He has a wonderful personality, brains and lots of character! An absolute sweetheart.
I was fairly new to dressage at this point, having ridden hunter/jumper growing up. I had taken a few years off from riding, as life got busier and school, work, marriage, etc… took priority.
I had recently gotten back into riding seriously, so I obviously had a long road ahead of me to get back into shape as well as learn the discipline of dressage.
Though I appreciate constructive criticizm, please note how long ago this video had been taken, but more importantly, that I have a wonderful trainer whom I’ve worked very closely with from the start. I’m well aware of all that needed to be worked on. You can clearly see our progress in more recent videos. Thank you.
I brought him home one week after this.
