Lexi had worked very hard leading up to the event with lots of early mornings, lessons, learning the dressage tests, and washing and grooming her horse before each test. Her ability to control her nerves before her classes had paid off and she has achieved so much in her first year of competing which led to her being presented with the Junior Dressage Champion shield, in addition to the two trophies. Her family said, "Lexi came away with the large dressage shield and a sash with her name and horses name on it. She is thrilled and we are very proud of her."
