Diamond Blue entering the arena, getting ready to show in Training Level, as his brother, Electric Blue is leaving, after showing in 1st Level. Hollie Watson

Hollie has 40 years of professional experience in the equestrian industry. Born and raised in Santa Fe, New Mexico, she started schooling in Dressage and Hunter/Jumper while attending Pacific Horse Center in California.  With her horse, Diamond Blue, she schooled and trained this horse to finish #3 in  Dressage at the Region 9  Arabian Horse Show at Will Rodgers Arena in Ft. Worth, Texas.  This includes the 4 states of Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas and Oklahoma.  So, after training 'Blue' for 6 months, Diamond Blue was qualified for the National Arabian Horse Show! Tragically, Blue died before the pair could make it to the National Show. However the memories live on, and the experience is immeasurable!
