Peter Borggreve Clinic Wrap-Up

We had another wonderful clinic with Peter!  We always appreciate him coming out and sharing his expertise.  He always provides a wealth of knowledge for riders and auditors, and reminds us how special a discipline Dressage is.  Make sure to follow us on Facebook to see more pictures from the clinic and to stay informed of other events happening at the barn.

In Memory – Kathleen Coffman

With a very heavy heart we want to acknowledge the passing of our barn mate Kathleen Coffman.  Kathleen was a valued member, an exceptional rider, and always had a smile on her face and a kind word to say.  Kathleen was an integral part of our barn family, and we will miss her dearly.  Our thoughts and prayers go out to her husband and loved ones.

Congratulations are in order!

We are very excited to announce we have several end of year award winners for the CDS San Diego Chapter rated shows!  They are as follows:

Open Third Level: First Place – Kim Monk and Furstenstoltz 6
