Penelope & Twinkie: Sharpening Their Magic at WEC with Alejo – On the Road to the March 2025 Show

There are moments in the equestrian world that feel like a glimpse into the future—small previews of the greatness that’s coming. Today’s training session at the World Equestrian Center was exactly that: a blend of focus, discipline, and that special spark that appears only when a rider and horse are truly in sync.

Penelope entered the arena with her signature energy—calm but fully present. Twinkie, always willing, stepped into the ring ready to work, showing the kind of gentleness and heart that already set her apart. And Alejo… what a trainer. Precise with every cue, firm yet soft, guiding them both with a clarity that builds confidence.

Throughout the session, you could see something that isn’t practiced—it’s built. The type of connection that forms repetition after repetition, breath after breath, as both listen to each other stride by stride. Twinkie responded beautifully—looser, more confident, more focused—while Penelope refined her posture, rhythm, and communication under Alejo’s sharp eye.

The WEC’s impressive, professional atmosphere was the perfect backdrop for this pre–show training. Success in the ring doesn’t just happen on show day. It begins here, in moments like this—hours of practice, refinement, and dedication.

Today showed progress.

It showed elegance.

It showed real work.

And above all… it showed that March 2025 is going to be special.

This video captures exactly that:

✨ Growth.

✨ Preparation.

✨ The promise of what’s ahead.

Penelope and Twinkie are building something remarkable, and with Alejo’s guidance, each session brings them one step closer to shining in the show.

See you in March. They’re coming strong. 🐴💫
