The best horses are the ones that make you learn again. This one reminded me that it’s not the big movement that defines the ride — it’s what happens between them. The half-halt that lands. The breath you take before the change. The softness that returns after the mistake. That’s where real riding lives. The bigger the movement, the more important the feel. Not every ride is perfect — but perfection was never the point. The goal is to stay in conversation with your horse, no matter how complex the dance gets. We have these incredible horses, bred for brilliance and power — but we can’t lose the relationship, the patience, or the details in between. That’s what allows their athleticism to truly shine. ✨ — ✉️ Training & clinic inquiries: www.ElanVitalDressage.com #elanvitaldressage #wellingtonhorseshow #grandprixdressage #dressageeducation #classicaldressage #forwardnotfast #qualitybasicsinternationalstandards #dressagetraining #riderfeel #connectionovercontrol #dressagejourney

Goerklintgaards Siljano – 2017 Imported Danish Warmblood Gelding Siljano is the ideal partner for an ambitious amateur, junior, or young rider. By Santos out of a Castro mare, this striking black gelding stands 17hh and has been thoughtfully developed. He is currently schooling Third Level with a solid show record through First, and has begun half-steps in hand. His three comfortable, balanced gaits make him a pleasure to ride, and he offers as much as you ask without being complicated. In the barn and off property, Siljano is a gentleman. He clips, loads, hacks, and turns out happily alone or with a friend. He has competed at venues including the World Equestrian Center, where he was easy to manage and reliable in every way. Safe, willing, and straightforward, he is ready to continue his education and shine with his next partner. Located Ocala, FL Asking mid 5️⃣’s starting with a 4️⃣ - Price to increase with training.

Dressage at Devon never fails to inspire. Watching the top of the sport in this country is a reminder of what’s possible when preparation and vision come together. This week I’m sitting with my horses and really thinking about 2026 - what foundation I’m building now so they’re ready to shine later. Success at the higher levels doesn’t happen by accident; it’s the result of daily choices, clear systems, and consistency. How do you break down your training plans? Do you map out month by month, or focus on solving one piece at a time? And where do you find yourself getting stuck or unsure of the next step? I’d love to help anyone refine their focus and point themselves in the right direction - sometimes a shift in perspective makes all the difference.
