October Ram Tap 2026

Well sometimes you almost win one and then sometimes you end up eating dirt, in the case it was both. While this show didn’t end how we hoped, Wallie was foot perfect all weekend to score a 28.5 to be in 1st out of 18 at our first Training. We then put down a fast and clear cross country to hold 1st into stadium. Wallie was jumping so good on Sunday and I should know he’s going to jump no matter what even when his rider does not see the same distance. Poor Wallie popped me off and I hit the dirt to no fault of his. While i’m super disappointed it makes me more excited for next season and I am so happy with the weekend regardless.

Huge thank you to @lauren.lopiccolo for the amazing coaching and support, my dad for being the best helper and sitting in the ER with me for 8 hours and driving me home the same night, @ramtaphorsepark for being so helpful after I fell and checking up on me after. As well as all the wonderful people who helped me out and held my hand through it all.

Love you Wallie we’ll get em next time 💗

Woodside Fall HT 2026

I couldn’t be happier with how Wallie and I’s first show went as a pair. We started the weekend off with a 28.6 and just added one rail to our score to finish 3rd! I can definitely say I had a smile on my face after every round and I can’t be more grateful to Wallie for being his amazing self.

I can’t thank @evntr4life for trusting me with your boy. As well as my amazing parents for making this possible. And of course for @lauren.lopiccolo for always supporting me through it all.

We’re feeling ready to step up to Training at Ram Tap for a few weeks as our end to this years show season!

I am so proud of Mochi man! We had tense start with our 4th level debut (granted it was our first time riding 4th level) but we came out of our next test with an ultra win! We got a 69.028! So proud of my boy and we got 4th level highpoint plus all qualified for regionals! Thank you @olsonstack for the gift cards, can't wait to spend them as there is always something we need.

Come join @skyreachequestriancenter for our next recognized show August 1st and 2nd!

February Ram Tap 2026 🌞

While we didn’t end the weekend how we wanted, Cash put down his best showjump and dressage rounds to date! We started the weekend with a 31.9 in a tough Open Novice division and after a double clear showjump we moved up to 4th! Unfortunately a small miscommunication on cross country cost us 3rd, I know Cash will put his best foot forward for the next show!

Thank you @lauren.lopiccolo for the awesome coaching and as always thank you to my parents and our amazing LLE team for the support!!

Cash was on his absolute best behavior this weekend at Ram Tap! He schooled so good on Friday and put down one of his most consistent and relaxed tests to date! In stadium he had a few green rails but stayed so calm and rideable I couldn’t have asked him for more 🤗 If you know me you know my dream for the past 5 years has been to go training, and this weekend was just one step closer!

So excited to see what we do this season ❣️ As always huge thank you to @lauren.lopiccolo for coaching, my parents for the support, @contactsaddles for the best saddle fitting, and @tailormadeequinetherapy for making Cash feel so good!

I love the journey of developing dressage horses. Every day I am reminded of how grateful I am to do what I love—guiding, teaching, and learning from these amazing athletes.

Pictured is the very talented 6 yr old mare Finest Rose owned by Tuny Page! Rose debuted at 3rd level this past weekend scoring nearly 75% under Lilo Fore!
