What does it take to rebuild your equestrian life in another country? Scarlett shares the compromises and decisions behind bringing Mochi to California after her family's move.
In this conversation:
- Finding suitable turnout and care after visiting facilities around Orange County.
- Navigating transport and quarantine, including her decision to have Mochi gelded before importing him.
- Joining a dressage community near San Diego with German trainers and visiting clinicians.
- Preparing for a first US competition, with a planned Prix St. Georges start.
- Comparing boarding, veterinary and competition costs with her experience in Germany.
- Adjusting to full-service horse care while balancing family commitments and a long drive to the stable.
Scarlett also reflects on selling her German equestrian facility and the possibility of expanding horse sales between Germany and the USA.
Import requirements, costs and competition procedures are discussed through Scarlett's personal experience rather than as a comprehensive guide.
