I have been fortunate again this year to be a part of the eventing high performance team.  The clinics are taught by US Eventing coach Mark Phillips and his wife Sandy, international dressage rider. I have completed three training sessions feeling confident and finally accepted as a team player. All of my sacrifices and stress seem to be subsiding with just a few words from Mark: "Excellent and I am feeling confident about the two of you."  I am very hopeful for this year and am really looking forward to stepping our game up. Mark seems to be focused on being an influential and positive mentor on a quest to bring home a team medal at the World Equestrian games this year. I hope to be a team member aboard my loyal mount The Good Witch. Our time to shine is moments away.
