💙 Horse of the Month – January: Velaris 💙
Velaris began his journey as a feral yearling and somehow became the partner of a lifetime. From the very start, every step of his training has been done together, building trust, patience, and an unbreakable bond. That partnership has carried them all the way to Fourth Level dressage and a well-earned Bronze Medal with Distinction.
His story isn’t just about the show ring. Velaris has splashed through the ocean in Florida, explored the trails of Acadia National Park in Maine, performed at the Midwest Horse Fair two years in a row, and shown at the Kentucky Horse Park for Regionals. No matter where he goes, he shows up brave, generous, and ready for anything.
Velaris is proof that the most unexpected beginnings can lead to something truly special. We can’t wait to see where this year takes them — more freestyles, more shows, more clinics, and plenty of new adventures along the way. 💫
