Teresa Butta Dressage is thrilled to congratulate Jordan Stave and his stunning homebred, Quindarion, on earning High Point Champion at PVDA’s fall show today! Jordan finished his second level scores for his bronze medal and knocked it out of the park overall. It’s a pleasure watching this team progress, and we can’t wait to see what they accomplish next year!

I had a great ending to my day with my client, Colleen learning to ride her first steps of true collected canter! I am so proud of her. The pirouettes will be here soon!

Thought for the day: “Ride smarter, not harder.” It was a great day at Teresa Butta Dressage. Everyone brought their “A game” today! It is such a great feeling to have such a wonderful two-and four-legged team.💪

The top photo is of a student on her German Riding pony in November 2017–shortly after they arrived at Teresa’s for training board. The bottom photo is from last night, March 13th, 2018. What an amazing difference in just a few months of training board with Teresa Butta and with some consistent hard work! The best is yet to come! 😊

Our horses love our working student, Angie Mazzullo, and their TheraPlate time! We like to take a full sports medicine approach on and off the horse here at Teresa Butta Dressage. Please inquire if you are interested in our program!

Teresa working with a client’s sales horse, a 13 year old Friesian, Mikey....It is cool to already see Mikey’s progress since he arrived from upstate NY just a few weeks ago for training board with Teresa. Happy weekend, everyone!
