Xenophon wins HIgh Point of Show

Xenophon, the 6 year old PRE stallion owner by Sandra Werner of Alachua Florida was awarded the neck sashfor the highest scoring horse at the ERAHC andalusian and Lusitano show in Lexington, Virginia. The 17.1 hand stallion won the large class of Dressage Suitability horses, and also was Reserve Champion in the Sport horse Stallions in hand class, and the Spanish Stallion class. I am currently compiling on a freestyle for him for first level to debut at the dressage show in Tampa in November. We are very proud of 'Bear' as this was his first big show- traveling almost 14 hours to Lexington and showing in a pretty electric atmosphere for the stallion by Gaucho III.

Captive Melody and Sydnie Costello Invited to Finals

After only 1 year of training, Captive Melody is heading to the US Dressage Finals in the First Level Freestyle. Sydnie Costello, owner and rider, was invited to ride in the Open Freestyle competition even though she is technically a Young Rider. The rule states that she cannot ride in the AA division as she is not old enough, so she is competing with the Open riders (most of them professionals). It's going to be a great experience for her to compete at Nationals, as she is aspiring to do the Young Rider Prix St. George soon. Sydnie is a Sophomore at UF and has two more years to compete in the Young Riders program.
