Salope:  My first show in my borrowed shadbelly with my new horse, Salope, at Prix St. Georges. "Sally" has been trained to Grand Prix and was found for me in Germany by my trainer, Alex Gerding. (See info about Alex on the "News and Clinics" page.) It's such a pleasure to learn FEI on a horse that can teach me. She's truly a gift. Sally has received many compliments from judges/trainers who have seen her: Gerd Zuther, Linda Zang, Stephen Clarke and Janet Foy. (Photo by Fire and Earth Photography)

Wyndara (Widmark-Brienza/Bergamon) is a 2004 Hanoverian filly bred by Caryn. 
At her first USDF breed show in June 2006, she was named Young 
Horse Reserve
Champion.
At her second USDF breed show in August, she again 
was Reserve Champion with a score
of 82.4%!
She ended the year in 13th place for 
USDF Horse of the Year two-year-old fillies. She was sold to Barb Center, and has excelled not only in dressage where she is 
doing
lateral work well and tempe changes, but is a frequent winner in the hunter ring.
This is a photo from her first show summer of '09. (Photo by Fire and Earth Photography.)

called back as top fillies at the Hanoverian inspection held in Wisconsin in July 2008. She is currently under saddle and has proven to be smart, willing and bold, in addition to exhibiting a very good (and comfortable) walk, trot and canter.
