We did it!!!!!!! I would like to present Djurre út t’ Westen STER Sport Elite AAA.

Djurre and Michelle have now achieved the following:

1. The youngest Friesian to ever achieve Sport Elite in North America

2. This year currently has the top IBOP score in North America at 84

3. This year is tied for 2nd in the world in the ridden IBOP

4. Have one of the top five scores EVER in the world for the ridden IBOP

This could not have been done without an incredible TEAM!

Thank you to Nikki and Pat for taking great care of Djurre on the road, his groom and BFF Maegen, Amy Hobbs for your mentorship, Correen Hill and team for a wonderful Keuring, All Star Friesians Djurre’s breeders, and I will be forever grateful to Djurre’s rider Michelle Haefer. Michelle and Djurre are just pure magic!

Next we have Regionals starting tomorrow and onto the stallion inspection in California next month.

I pray Djurre will continue to bring light and joy to all he meets and attention to the wonderful Friesian breed!

It's almost Keuring time! Hill Family Friesians is hosting a FHANA inspection on September 30th at Bello Acres at Donida Farms! This event is open to the public and we encourage anyone interested in the Friesian breed to come out spend the day with us! We will have our Dutch judges doing a short clinic at 8:30am and will then move on to our ridden/driven and in hand inspections.

We expect to have over 30 Friesian horses on site!

Feel free to reach out if you have any questions.

So proud of Djurre’s trainer for being the only recipient of the 2024 Debbie McDonald Fund for FEI Riders grant! 🥳

So proud of Djurre’s trainer for being the only recipient of the 2024 Debbie McDonald Fund for FEI Riders grant! 🥳

The Dressage Foundation is pleased to announce that Michelle Haefer (OR) and Romanesque are the 2024 recipients of the $25,000 Debbie McDonald Fund for FEI Riders grant! 🥳

Michelle started her training program, Haefer Dressage in 2021, and has been developing her own Romanesque, a 13-year-old Oldenburg, since he was six years old. Michelle and Romanesque will use the grant funding to train with Olympians Charlotte Bredahl and Cindy Ishoy. Michelle hopes to not only further her education with her horse, but to also improve as an instructor. Michelle is currently a Director at Large of the Oregon Dressage Society.

Michelle said, “Romy and I are incredibly thankful to The Dressage Foundation. Receiving this grant will allow me to pursue education in a way I have not been able to before. Running my own training business, I struggle to come up with funds for both showing and training. Now, this grant will allow us access to continued training and development in the arena, as well as give me the opportunity to expand on my own knowledge as a trainer, coach, and competitor. I hope to be an asset to USA Dressage in training horses and riders who will continue into the USA Dressage pipeline."

The Debbie McDonald Fund provides funding for high-level training to horse and rider pairs who are training at Prix St. Georges or higher, who show potential to succeed at FEI Levels, and who may not otherwise have the opportunity for the training. Applications are due each year on June 15. For more information, please visit https://bit.ly/45TVJVc
