I was fortunate to have started and showed Nancy Leon’s lovelyand talented KWPN mare, Biarette VDL. Her first season under saddle as a 3 year old was extraordinary. She met and exceeded all of our wishes. Our accomplishments in 2009 included:

USDF-HOY 2009 Materiale 3 year old Filly-3rd Place
USDF-All Breed, KWPN-NA, Materiale 3 year old Filly -Champion
KWPN-NA Keuring: Champion at Silver HIll Stables Keuring: DG Bar Cup for 3 yearolds
KWPN-NA Keuring: Received 1st Premium

Watch for Nancy and Biarette this year in Training Level. Once again, I know she will exceed our expectations.

Good luck Nancy and Biarette!

These are the two that make all the important decisions at Cadence Ranch

Correct riding will improve your horse.

Do you want to move up the levels? Receive scores inthe 70’s? It is possible for everyone one and every sound horse to do excellent lower level work. There are no quick fixes, but steady improvement should be expected for both horse and rider. Do you continually ride those 20 meter circles with no improvement or worse no purpose or understanding of why you areriding the monotonous circles?

Creating more carrying power in the hind quarters

Do you truly know how to apply the aids correctly? This is probably one of the biggest issues I see and hear from new students. They tell me they have never been instructed on exactly how to apply the aids to effectively influence their horse. Without the correct aids it is very unlikely that the horse can come up with the correct answer? It is like you are speaking a foreign language to your horse.

My horse is coming over the back

Do you know when your horses is truly working back to front or over the back? Do you know how to influence your horses back? Do you know how to use a half-halt to re-balance your horse? Do you want to improve collection and self-carriage, but don’t know how? I’ll address many of these topics over the months and hopefully take some of the mystery away and give you a focused plan for your rides, so that you will improve yourself and consequently your horse.

Using aids to move horses body parts

2009 was a fantastic year for Cadence Ranch!

Frank Sinatra CR and Dean Martin CR, my imported Hanoverian colts, met and exceeded my goals for the year. They finished the year with many wins in hand, receiving outstanding comments from all the judges that saw them. It was truly confirmation that both are true stallion prospects. Just received notice from the American Hanoverian Society that Frank is the 2009 Champion in Younger Colts & Geldings Sporthorse Breed and Dean is the Reserve Champion!!!!!

Santolina a 2008 filly by Sempatico out of my mare Bold Navette, purchased by Jessica Wright, finished the year as the #1 GOV Oldenburg Filly in the USDF All Breeds Awards.

I had three exceptional foals this year – two colts and a filly.

Samson 7 CR by Sempatico, now owned by Kathy Harlan, out of Bold Navette received a premium status by the GOV Oldenburg judges at his inspection.

Superman CR by Sagnol (Sandro Hit) out of Wonder Woman was a show stopper at his inspection. Judges comments: outstanding conformation, will have great aptitude for collection and flying changes,gorgeous…. Clark is available at present, he is a true FEI prospect and he is generating a lot of interest.

Rhapsody CR by Routinier out of Dolce Vita drew attention with her sweet expression, her feminine physique and her powerful movement. She too is catching a lot of attention from dressage enthusiast.
