Welcome to Premier Dressage

THE 2008 SHOW SEASON STARTED OUT WITH A BANG!

RAMASOTTI - Carolyn's 14 yo Belgian Warmblood qualified for Championships at PSG on his first outing, as well as was the FEI Reserve Champion at Harmony in the Park in Indiana. Since then his performance has been steady as we learn more about riding and showing FEI.

PROMENADE - Carolyn's 11 yo Dutch Warmblood mare keeps getting better and better!! Starting in May, was the Third Level Champion at Harmony in the Park. Since then, her scores keep getting higher and at the most recent show scored 69% twice at Third Level taking home the Blue!

WINSOME - Promenade's daughter by Kevekko, was re-acquired by Carolyn last year. After some rough spots, she is now going well and will be shown next year.

ZACHARY - 4 yo gelding by Kevekko was started this year and is as steady as they come with three excellent gaits. We're looking forward to taking these two out in 2009.

Carolyn also recently purchased two 2008 foals; a lovely Bugatti filly from Hilltop Farm, and a Dutch Warmblood colt by Santana (by Sandro Hit) from Windy Ridge in Pennsylvania. They are due to arrive at Premier Dressage in October.

Carolyn has had many clinic opportunities this year, and has trained with Olympians Michelle Gibson and Tom Dvorak, as well as the Betreiter from the Spanish riding school, Rudi Rostek. Also, Carolyn has had instruction from the renowned riders Nancy Smith and Charlotte Bayley. Carolyn is planning to train in Florida for a month with Michelle Gibson this Fall for more intensive instruction. It has certainly been an educational year!

We are now looking ahead to Championships in September.

Also, we are looking forward to our new role as Grandparents. Colleen is due at the end of August! With four of our five children married, hopefully more "munchkins" will be forthcoming in the future!
