Do you dream of riding FEI? But are you sick of riding the same dressage tests over and over again, and never getting the scores to advance? And are you overwhelmed by the stress of practicing all year, reading every dressage book, and trying your hardest but not understanding why it is never good enough? Let me show you how to break out of the adult amateur trap and learn the dressage skill set you need to ride with the professionals at FEI. My name is Jenna Smith, and I was stuck at Training Level for six long years, never even qualifying for Regional Dressage Championships. Two years later I had my USDF BRONZE MEDAL and placed in the 2ND, and 3RD Level Dressage CHAMPIONSHIPS for Region 8! At one big dressage show loaded with professionals, instead of last place, I won the High Score Award for ALL the horses at ALL the levels! Can you imagine how that felt? One year after that, in 2007, I won my USDF SILVER MEDAL, and also won 3RD PLACE at Region 8 Dressage CHAMPIONSHIPS for Prix St Georges! Finally at FEI, and actually beginning to school Grand Prix movements! In fact if I hadn't contracted a severe case of Lyme disease (see Dressage Today issue October 2008) only weeks after Championships I would have certainly won my gold medal within the next several years based on my "Secrets" that were working so well for me. Let me show you the dressage secrets to: *go down the center line in total relaxation; *never forget a movement in a test again; *enjoy warm-up at shows; *qualify for championships; *experience harmony with your horse at any dressage show; *earn the USDF medals you dream about; *enjoy riding a musical freestyle; *ride with a top hat in Ring One! Don't just take my word for it... "I loved the book! I sat down, and polished if off right away! Your story resonated with me and inspired me. Thank you!! I am rejuvenated, and excited about training and showing again this year!" [by Lisa Miller, Dressage rider and owner of Miller Stables, a well known breeding and training facility with some of the highest quality Gypsy Vanner horses in the country.] For less than the cost of a pony ride you can have 75 pages loaded with the tools you need to blast ahead through the levels without sacrificing classical dressage principals and without training shortcuts or gadgets.

But why? Why would a young urbanite leave the comforts of home and walk 65 days through rain and hail and scorching sun? So begins A Way, the recounting of a young woman's pilgrimage along the Camino di Santiago from France through Spain, with nothing more than the bag on her back and her husband by her side. It tells of the people met (the quirky ones, the lost ones, the kind and unforgettable ones), the physical discomforts endured (and oh, how many there were) and of the road travelled (all 1065 miles of it). It reveals how a sacred pilgrimage can bring about the most unsacred of experiences. It is a memoir, intertwined with reflections from the walking and lessons learned on the road about time, about the body, and about community. But most of all, it's a story. The story of a long walk.
