On Saturday, May 4th, TES proudly kicked off its 2025 Schooling Show Season with a fantastic dressage competition at the Los Angeles Equestrian Center. With cool, cloudy skies and a full afternoon of tests, the show marked the first in a four-part series where riders accumulate points toward year-end awards.

Competitors from TES, Nicole Weston, Biggie Krebel, and Tim Keeling brought energy, elegance, and sportsmanship to the arena. Every rider delivered their best under the thoughtful eye of Judge Bryce Quinto, who provided helpful, constructive feedback throughout the day.

A huge thank-you to Andrea Call, TES’s masterful show manager, for keeping everything running smoothly, and to our outstanding grooms—Sophie, Cody, and Maisie—for making the day seamless behind the scenes.

We also want to recognize the TES trainers who prepared our riders so well for competition. Special appreciation goes to Karina Lyons, Elle, and Madaline, who were on-site supporting riders throughout the event.

And congratulations to Esther, who won the Best Groomed School Horse Award for her beautiful turnout of Uni—a well-earned honor that reflects dedication and attention to detail.

We were thrilled to have professional photographer Annie MacAller on-site. If you'd like to view or purchase any photos from the show, please visit her website:
