Fondest Memory/Highlight

My fondest memory was competing on my unlikely FEI dressage horse, Robali Irish Cream (14.3hh Cremello Gelding) at the National Sydney CDI in the Advanced Freestyle. I remember us both seeming so tiny amongst the huge indoor arena and big crowd! Louie was the most honest and treasured little horse, and was quite popular because of his size, colour and personality. We placed 5^th overall and had to do the mounted presentation. We walked in with all the 16.2hh warmblood horses. It is still the most memorable and most rewarding experience of my career.
