The road to success leads through the valley of humility, and the path is up the ladder of patience and across the wide barren plains of perseverance. As yet, no shortcut has been discovered. ~Joseph L. Lamb

Reno
2016 Oldenburg Gelding by Rotspon out of Drummer Girl by Davignport Owned by Stacy Williams
I purchased Reno(fka Ridgeleigh) from Ilene Boorman in November, 2108 as my next prospect. He has firmly embedded himself into our family, with his sweet nature and Zen-like gentle spirit. Reno attended his first show summer 2021!

Cluseau
2005 16.2H Bay Hanoverian Gelding owned by Carol Williams

Cluseau is by Concetto, out of a mare by Calido. Carol bought him in July of 2019 to be her schoolmaster. Cluseau has shown successfully through Grand Prix with his former owner/trainer, Simone Williams. Unfortunately, along the way, Cluseau has suffered injuries to his mouth, neck, and back. It's taken some time, intuition, and a village to figure out what was holding him back. Now that we have finally sussed out and eliminated all his sources of discomfort, we hope to get this guy back into the ring at least at I-1, if not Grand Prix. He really LOVES to work, and really wants to be a Grand Prix horse again. I am grateful for clients like Carol, who has put her horse's needs above her own ambitions.

Contoneo de Ramos
2014 16H Grey Pura Raza Espanol owned by Liz Puerner

"Concho" is the proverbial Unicorn. He has a piaffe and passage from heaven, and schools tempis and pirouette canter. Liz bought him sight unseen from a trusted source to be her up and coming younger horse.  He made the trip from Spain last summer and has quickly become a barn favorite. Rachel Saavedra calls him "yummy". I call him Sparkles. Don't tell Liz.

Joyero XXV
2007 15.2H Bay Pura Raza Espanol Gelding owned by Liz Puerner

"JoJo" is a Ferrari to ride, has an engine that won't quit, and is all business. He excels at the lateral work and is quite certain he is the boss of the barn. He has experience in Working Equitation and Eventing, prior to Liz purchasing him. He schools through Prix St. Georges. Liz earned her Bronze Medal on him last year, and they are in pursuit of her Bronze Freestyle Bar this year with their Tom Petty-themed Freestyle Liz and I designed.

Xirope 
2003 15.3H Black Lusitano Gelding owned by Liz Puerner

Liz purchased Xirope through her friend, Linda Alexander, several years ago as a schoolmaster. He schools all of the Grand Prix. Xirope's name loosely translates to "Syrup", and he really is as sweet as syrup. He's an absolute gentleman, and very generous with his knowledge. Liz already has FEI experience, on her retired KWPN, Mango, but hopes to get back into tails with Xirope this year.

Linda is developing this horse through the levels herself, under the guidance of SCWDressage. They have qualified for Regional Championships four years in a row, at Training, First, Second and now Third levels as well as Freestyle. Linda and Caz earned their USDF Bronze Medal and USDF Bronze Freestyle Bar in 2018 and spent the 2019 show season confirming the flying changes and gaining confidence at the more advanced work.

2018-CHAMPION: International Rescue Horse Association Second Level Freestyle

2018: USDF Bronze Freestyle Bar

Ashley purchased "Charlie" as a more suitable mount for a busy mom of two young girls, and little time for training a green horse. Charlie was trained by Kerri Coufal, groom for Allison Brock, and was schooling Second and Third level under Kerri's guidance. He is a hard working, sensible horse who is highly trainable and very generous and uncomplicated. Ashley is able to relax, have fun, enjoy showing him, and he is great with her girls. Ashley has earned her USDF Bronze Medal and her USDF Bronze Freestyle Bar. They also rode Fourth level Test 1 at the final show of the season!  Ashley's family has been relocated by the US Army to American Fork, UT, so they will remain in training Millbrook Farm in Fairfield.

Pi'Tou
2009 16H Grey Lusitano Gelding Owned by Diane Johnson
Diane Purchased Pi'Tou in January of 2017 after her AQHA gelding was diagnosed with EPM.  Pi'Tou has allowed Diane to experience showing at First Level. These two turn heads wherever they go and Pi'Tou is a joy to ride and be around. He is the kind of horse that makes it all look so easy. Diane is enjoying the journey with Pi'Tou and is beginning to school Second level movements while I begin to develop Third level movements with him.

Saezzar
2013 15H Brown Friesian Sporthorse Gelding

Saezzar is a Morgan/Friesian cross gelding owned by Persis Zitting and bred by her brother, Wilford Hammon. Saezzar was brought to SCWDressage August 15th, 2015 as an unstarted Dressage prospect. I have had the pleasure of enjoying the journey on this wonderful, charismatic horse from first day wearing tack, to the present moment of beginning to school Second and Third level . Saezzar took an eighteen month hiatus to allow healing of a tendon injury sustained while playing too hard in turn out. He returned in March and happily went back to work. Being the dynamo that he is, with a naturally high work ethic, he carried Persis like a pro to some lovely scores at Training level this summer and debuted his First level Freestyle we had put together before he got injured. 
Here is video from Saezzar's very first show in July 2016, 11 months of training:


Earning a 70.8 and 76.8 his first weekend showing First Level Freestyle, July 2019.
