What a fabulous weekend at Dog Days Dressage!

The moms outdid themselves to win the Golden Elegance Design award, with their beautiful table decorated for GDCTA's 50th anniversary!

Norencia and Olivia had a very successful go at PSG, with a highlight of earning a 68.8% and FEI High Point of the day! What special mare and a complete joy to have the opportunity to compete.

Austin and Corcovado MLF had their USDF show debut, and after some absolutely fabulous riding, earned both of their scores to go to regionals at training level! So very proud of Austin, he and Brooksie have not been a team for very long but their partnership is very inspiring!

Bayberry ERR also had her USDF show debut, earning incredible scores in materiale of a 79% and 81.4%! The future is bright for our sweet filly and we are honored to be a part of it!

Enormous thank you's to all the friends and clients that helped and came out to support, it surely takes a village and we are blessed with ours.

All of my love to the Lucero family, Catherine Toner and Laura Oliver for trusting and loving me.

Thank you to River Mist Equestrian Center for a lovely schooling show and venue for many firsts!

Brooksie and Austin debuted at Training 3, earning lots of 8’s and 9’s and good preparation for regional qualification! So incredibly proud of these two, after only 2 months together they’ve made incredible progress and Austin continues to impress every day.

Bayberry ERR also debuted her very first horse show! We had the pleasure of helping to back this lovely 3 year old and it is so rewarding to see her out in the world performing so well. She earned two 70%+ at Intro level and high point for the whole show!! Bebe is owned by Laura Oliver.

Thank you to Riding Warehouse for our high point prize!

Norencia and Olivia both competed in their first Prix St Georges at Chatt Hills over the weekend, earning valuable experience with lots of 8’s and lovely comments from both judges!

The first of many FEI classes with this lovely mare and such a joy to get to continue to develop her and experience the true partnership in and out of the arena.

Celebrating the end of a wildly successful Florida season with our love DeNalia HVH! She has concluded her first winter season in Wellington with excellent coaching by Cesar Torrente. DeNalia attained her USDF regional qualifying scores at 1st Level and continues in her dressage education, having earned quite a few scores over 70% over the season! Thank you firstly to High Valley Hanoverians for the opportunity to compete this wonderful mare, and thank you to clients, friends and family for all the support.

DeNalia is headed home tomorrow for a brief reunion with Sanciro HVH (her 2023 Sanceo c**t) and is heading to the breeding shed for ICSI breeding for her 2025 offspring. We look forward to our summer season and many many more with this wonderful mare

Thrilled doesn't even begin to cover it! Reminiscing on DeNalia HVH and Olivia's fabulous weekend at Global Dressage 7, with DeNalia earning her qualifying scores at 73.9% and 72.3%! So impressed with this mare and so lucky to have the most incredible partner, always earning praise on her transitions and harmonious picture!

DeNalia is bred and raised by High Valley Hanoverians in Suches GA, and we look forward to returning home at the end of the season!

What a wonderful weekend at Global Dressage! DeNalia’s mom Annetta came down from Georgia to support DeNalia HVH and Olivia as they successfully pursued scores to qualify for regionals! DeNalia continues to show her quality and rideability by earning a 73.9% and 72.6% at 1st-3.

Her notable test on Thursday also earned her the N2 Saddlery Peak Performance award, given to the horse and rider who give an exemplary performance. Thank you Johnny Robb for recognizing DeNalia and the whole crew for coming to support!

Truly a joy to work with this mare and be part of her journey. Always grateful to High Valley Hanoverians and Annetta Plagman Coleman for the endless support.

Another fabulous mare being rewarded for her quality and talent! Franziska is a joy to work with and we are excited for her future

01/27/2024

We’ll call that a very successful start to the 2024 show season! DeNalia HVH has her very first try at first level test 3 at Global Dressage Festival in Wellington, FL with Olivia Torres, coming out with a well deserved 72.3%! Truly a joy to have the opportunity to develop this talented young mare, she loves her job and is the best partner to have in the arena.

We believe that starting these young horses on a path to have a positive and engaging attitude towards the training is the recipe for success. To see them progress through the training scale, learn to use their bodies and backs to unlock incredible gaits, and find joy in the work and learning, is immensely rewarding.

Looking forward to many more with our love DeNalia and thrilled for her progress! Thank you to Nancy Bardy at Custom Saddlery for our comfortable Omni!
