Mon Cheri
I would like to announce the purchase of Mon Cheri, a beautiful imported Danish Warmblood mare! Through a wonderful partnership with
Laura Beeman, I was given the chance to find an FEI horse of my own, and Cheri is truly so much more than I ever could have asked for! I
can't begin to thank Laura enough for all of her support, as this journey would not be possible without her.
Cheri is coming from Wellington, FL, where she was owned and trained by FEI trainer Heidi Basler. Cheri has been trained and shown
through Grand Prix, and I cannot thank Heidi enough for trusting me to be Cheri's next partner.
I traveled to Wellington and rode Cheri for 3 days, and I can honestly say I am already enamored with this mare. She absolutely loves her
job, and is such an incredibly happy horse. She and I worked so well together, and I can't wait to develop my relationship with her! She
was such an incredible find, and I am so thankful for this wonderful addition to my program.
