Terrific dressage day for Chrome and Jeff (my husband - Jeff Skinner). A 42.65 in Training Test B! We are thrilled. Thank you Thorsten Zarembowicz and Allison Zarembowicz for Chrome’s great start and Carrie Ostrowski - Place for the coaching and training the past almost 3 months! They are becoming a team! We’re so thrilled with Chrome.

Congrats Shauna and Jeff!

Beautiful arena!
