fve-year-old Trakehner mare, Harmonie NSF, at the dressage

of these scores without the help of my fabulous trainer, Gwen
Poulin, and the help of Sarah Plante, the owner of Harmony
Woods Training Center, the barn I ride at,” Heather said.
Congratulations to Heather and her lovely mare, keep earning
those great scores!
