When I first saw her 25 years ago l fell in love. I named her Pearl after her father Mountain Pearl. Since then, we have both been through many adventures and injuries. Pearl has earned two USDF bronze medals and has shown up to Prix St. Georges.  

This year we reached 100 years together, so I decided after six years to get back in the saddle. We conditioned we the help of a good friend and trainer. My Century Club ride was at First Level with a good score. We really had a great time!
