This summer I was accepted in to the 2016 Winter Intensive Training Program presented
by Lendon Gray and Dressage4Kids. The WIT Program is held at Hampton Green Farm
in Wellington, Florida January 3rd-March 28th. We will get daily
lessons from Lendon Gray, daily lectures from various equine professional,
and tour top training facilities in Wellington.
Lendon Gray has
represented the United States in two Olympics and Inducted in to the USDF Hall
of Fame. Lendon is dedicated to developing aspiring youth in to top
international dressage competitors. Lendon is the founder of Dressage4kids that
put on many programs to further young rider’s education. Lendon has helped
develop many international riders that compete today.
This year I was one of
the lucky fifteen riders accepted into the WIT Program. For those of you who do
not know, The Village of Wellington is known for its equestrian community. It
is home to the Winter Equestrian Festival, hosting hunter/jumper events, The
Adequan Global Dressage Festival, hosting dressage events, and is home to the Palm
Beach International Polo Club. Having the opportunity to spend a winter in
Wellington, Florida is defiantly an amazing experience.
In order to afford to
participate in The WIT Program it requires a lot of fundraising and financial
support. To help pay for this program I have been Braiding at shows, grooming
for friends, teaching beginner lessons, selling fudge and bran mash at tack
sales, and applying for scholarships. I also have created a GoFundMe page.
GoFundMe is a company that allows you to create campaign pages to help you
raise money for causes, Please make a contribution to my 2016 WIT Program Fund.
The money raised will be used to pay for the program fee, shipping for the
horse, horse care supplies, grain and supplements, emergency veterinary care,
and rent and utilities. It does not matter the amount you donate every penny
helps. Click on the banner below to donate now.
