Pip
Pip
1994 Hanoverian Gelding by Pik Solo, owned and bred by Barrie Anderson
Pip came into training as a very naughty 9 year old training level horse. Once he found a job and consistent work, he moved up the levels successfully. In 2005 he won the USDF 3rd Level Musical Freestyle Challenge and has had many top placings in 2008 CDIs. Pip will be ready to show Grand Prix in 2009. In 2009 we are planning to compete for the 2009 USEF Brentina Cup. He has competed at every level from Training to I-11. We intend to try for the 2010 WEG. A video of Pip is available on DressageClinic.com’s coverage of 2008 Dressage at Devon.

Horses of the Past
Glissade
Glissade winning multiple Regional Championships
Glissade, 1990 Westfalen Gelding Guarantor X Puritano, owned by Amanda Johnson
Glissade was purchased in Wisconsin from Caryn Vesperman as a Training Level horse in December 1995. In 1996, he competed at First and Second levels. By 1998, I had trained him to PSG on my own with help only from clinicians. We were NAYRC Region 4 team members from 1999 to 2001. During this time, I was a working student for George Williams, and George and I were able to train Glissade to Grand Prix in 2001. In 2003 we tried for the USEF (formerly USET) National Grand Prix Championships. Glissade’s career high scores were 65% in Grand Prix and 70% in Grand Prix Freestyle. Glissade won many Regional and National awards including 2000 USDF Horse of the Year, I-1 3rd place with a 68% median. Glissade was retired in 2004 and due to an unfortunate illness had to be put down shortly after his retirement.
Romance
Romance
1997 Westfalen mare. Romance is a homebred horse, we bred one of our Morgan mares, Miranda, to Puritano. Once started undersaddle Romance went with me to Gypsy Woods Farm when I was a working student. It was on her that I learned some fabulous young horse exersizes, that I use on every young horse I ride to this day. Romance had some success in her riding career, receiving 70’s at 1st level and mid 60’s at second level. She was schooling half steps, passage, and flying changes when we decided it was time to breed her. We love this mare, but wanted to improve her canter, so our choice in her mate was Fabuleaux. This resulted in Foley. Romance is now enjoying her time as a schoolmaster for Pip’s owner, Barrie Anderson. She is loved by all.
