Featured Rider: Miranda and Heart

How did you find out about Better Dressage Scores? Honestly, I can’t remember! My guess is through Facebook. Why is online showing so important to you?

It hurts that you want to show off all of the hard work you’ve put in to it, to enjoy the weekend with your friends, and to soak in the horse show life.
