What a fun day! I love creating beautiful moments. Today’s cellphone cameras are amazing. The fall colors here are so beautiful right now. I know it won’t last. Izzy and Rikki are great subjects, and big yellow dog is always happy to photobomb😂

What a fun morning! I got to see some familiar hairs coming down the center line today. It’s been a couple years since I’ve seen them and they’ve made so much progress. I would say one day when I’m old I will join this group, ha ha ha, but I guess I’m already old.
OPRC rally today. If you’re looking for a fun group to ride with look them up.

❤️yes!

Straight doesn't just mean straight...

Just another bit of dressage terminology that can be misinterpreted due to its literal meaning. 😅

Fully agree with this!!

Judging is a cornerstone of our sport, grounded in responsibility, trust, and a genuine hope to see good riding.

🌟 First Premium KWPN-NA C**t by Gaudi – Dressage Royalty in the Making 🌟

Offered for your consideration: a 2025 KWPN-NA weanling c**t of exceptional quality, awarded First Premium at his keuring for superior conformation, movement, and type.

Sired by Gaudi (Totilas x De Niro), this c**t carries the legacy of two of the most influential stallions in modern dressage. His dam is a daughter of Negro—sire of Olympic legend Valegro—and granddaughter of Fred Astaire, adding elegance, elasticity, and proven performance to his pedigree.

🧬 Pedigree Highlights:

Sire: Gaudi – Totilas x De Niro

Dam: Negro x Fred Astaire

💫 Why He Stands Out:

Balanced, uphill conformation with expressive movement

Friendly, intelligent temperament with a trainable mind

Registered KWPN-NA with full papers. microchipped.

🌟 Proven Power of the Negro Dam Line: This c**t shares maternal lineage with two of today's most celebrated stallions:

Glamourdale – 2022 Double Gold Medalist at the FEI World Championships and 2024 Olympic Bronze Medalist, out of a Negro mare

Everdale – Olympic and European Championship medalist, also out of a Negro mare

Negro's daughters consistently produce elite athletes, and this c**t is no exception—bred to shine in the FEI arena or elevate a top-tier breeding program.

Exceptional 17.2h Hanoverian Gelding – Ideal for Dressage, Jumping or Eventing 🌟

We are pleased to present a gorgeous 5-year-old Hanoverian gelding, registered with the American Hanoverian Society. Standing at an impressive 17.2 hands, this gelding boasts an illustrious pedigree, being sired by the renowned Liberty Gold and out of a mare by Aragorn. His lineage includes the legendary Secretariat, contributing to his remarkable conformation and athleticism.

Currently advancing in First Level dressage, he demonstrates natural balance, fluid gaits, and a cooperative temperament, making him an excellent candidate for both competitive and amateur riders. He has schooled over jumps and really shows great potential. He is very brave and with great form.

Light likes to hack out, we are usually in a group as he is young and we are still building confidence. He has hauled to a few local shows, and the judges love him. He has beautiful feet and is happy barefoot. Light was started here at Leading Edge Dressage and brought along slowly. As he is a rather large horse, we have not pushed him to allow for proper growth and strength. He has quite a presence and gets attention wherever he goes. Not suited for a beginner as he is still young, would do best in a program.

Key Details:

Age: 5 years
Height: 17.2 hands
Breed: Hanoverian
Registry: American Hanoverian Society
Training: Schooling First Level Dressage
Potential: Jumping Prospect
Experience: Trail Riding & a little showing
Sire: Liberty Gold
Damsire: Aragorn
This gelding is an exceptional opportunity for those seeking a talented dressage partner, a promising jumper, or a versatile all-around athlete. For further information or to arrange a viewing, please contact: lisa@leadingedgedressage or text to set up a time to see him. 206-914-2794

Some inspiration for your Friday!

Crooked Spine, Linear Progress 🥇

"We finally discovered that he had scoliosis - and a host of other small injuries to his neck - after I had owned him for almost two years. 'This isn’t going to be a riding horse,' the vet told me. I shrugged and said, 'Well, he’s a bay gelding who doesn’t stand well in a stall, so I hope that he can at least do something for me.'"

We are closing out our celebration of Arabians on YourDressage! Here, a rider from Region 6 tells us about her unlikely Grand Prix partner - a quirky Arabian gelding with scoliosis.
