Training with Steffen Peters and invited to ride in the USDF National Convention and Symposium

The CDI show season has not yet started so Mette is really focusing on her training.
For the past couple of weeks Mette and Finally has been down in San Diego training with Steffen Peters. Mette has been going back and forth between LA and San Diego to be able to ride Finally as much as possible with Steffen and also take care of everything at home. Its been a lot of driving but so far everything has been really smooth.

Mette is thankful for her assistante Anna Dahlberg who is carrying a heavy load toghether with her working students Jayne Bailey and Katelynn Shaw. Everyone is putting in a big effort to make this work. Mette also really appreciate that all her clients are so excited and supportive that she is getting such good help with her training.

Finally is doing really well!! Steffen is very pleased with him and his progress. Together with Steffen, Mette is working on getting Finally ready for Grand Prix.

As we mentioned earlier, Mette is invited to ride in the 2011 USDF National convention and sumposium. This will take place in San Diego, December 3-4th.
Mette will be one of four High Performance demonstration riders lead by the US National coach Anne Gribbons. The Symposium will present a unique blend of lecture and live demonstration so its a great opportunity for anyone who would like to watch the best riders and trainers in the country!
