"These days we have these super well bred, super moving horses, and they allow riders to get away with things they ought not get away with..." Princess Nathalie, trainer of Cathrine Dufour tells us:
“That’s the dangerous part because still a horse has to be really supple and through to both sides. We all know a horse has a good, and a not so good side, and that’s what you have to make equal, and develop the horse more. And of course, riders try to hide this behind spectacular movement, but those spectacular horses also have to be trained in a good way.”

TENAYA
This is my Andalusian filly! She is almost a year old. Going to be all black like her Sire. She is the sweetest as they come. I am looking forward to riding her smooth gaits.

Horse Show News
The first show in Tehachapi on May 22, was a success! My first rider to go was Violet Huisjen, a junior, very first show, and riding a borrowed horse Pete. Walt/trot tests. Won the Junior High Score! My second rider to go was Maya Grasse, second show ever, riding her own horse Misty Mountain Dusty. Won her Training Level tests and the High Score AA. Stacy Vehrs checked into the office, and found that she and her Tres Belle had won the High Score AA at the last show in 2021! Stacy and Belle won her Training Level class and her First Level class at this show. To round it up: my riders won WT 3, WT 4, Training T1-T2-T3, and First 1. Could not more proud of what they have accomplished! I showed PSG on Dahara, Nancy Owen’s beautiful black mare.
