Now that all five winter circuits have come to an end, it's time for all of us to reflect on what we've done this winter and where we're taking the sport in which we all participate all year long.

I was a part of three of the circuits since I judged at the HITS Desert Circuit in Indio, Calif., and the Winter Equestrian Festival in Wellington, Fla., and my barn showed at HITS Ocala, Fla. We have a variety of customers, from young children to adults to pre-green and working horses. In other words, we have hunters and jumpers of all levels.
