For the first time in my life, aboard Star, I could run and walk and not fear that I was going to trip and fall. At the barn, I had a place where I could be normal- a place where I belonged. By Skyler Wroblewski

Stryker is a great ambassador of the breed – full of heart and ever-changing color. With his color, we garnish a lot of attention at shows so he has to be on his best behavior. He can be quirky and spooky at home but at a show he really shines – he loves being in the “spot” light.

I’ve been around horses most of my life but mostly did pleasure riding, so when I found my trainer and she introduced me to dressage and I thought, ‘well this is fun!’ I only had two shows in 2019 with a little Quarter Horse before I got Hugo Boss about six months ago, so it’s been a short amount of time that we’ve been together and it’s been great. Coming to the Finals has been a great experience and well worth the trip, and I hope there will be many more.”
