My Dressage Experience
SUMMARY:
I purchased my horses Hannover and Sebastian from Ravine Ranch Sports Horses located in Manitoba, Canada. It was love at first site! Both horses had just turned one year old when they finally arrived at our home in Lancaster, NH. With all excitement, I knew that we had a long journey ahead of us before riding formal dressage tests. My new dressage prospects were barely halter trained at the time.
