Hey there fellow Saddle and Bridlers! My name is Zoe Schaffel. I am super excited to be blogging for one of my favorite magazines! I can’t wait to share more with you throughout the show season, and probably a few laughs down the road.

I ride at Five Gait Stables in Tampa, Florida with David Chretien and Jessica Saft. I show Saddlebreds: Wrapped In Chocolate, CH Chantilly Castle, Annie's Perfect Design, RWC Hello Bombshell and Undulata's Cheekie Nut, a Standardbred: WCC IAMNOTACOW, and a Hackney pony: Mr. Lucky Man.

We just finished up our third show of the season (Dixie Cup in Conyers, Georgia) and head to Asheville Lions Club next. My goals starting off the season always begin with: let’s do all five or three gaits both ways of the ring. I will keep you updated as we continue through the beginning of the season!
