Lyndon Rife Dressage

The LTR Team had a great start to the 2024 competition season at the Emerald Classic in Katy, TX. We brought five horses that contested the levels from Training to Intermediate II! Congratulations to Elisabeth Dewar and Don Darling on winning both of their Amateur Intermediate II classes. The duo scored to 65% with plenty of room for improved scores. Julie Madriguera competed Debra Nossaman's Danish mare Fabiola. They won all three of the Open Third level classes to 70% in Fabi's first US competition. Julie also debuted her own Madoc All Dun at Intermediate II. Jenna Ursone returned to the show arena after a long break with her Dance De Luxe at Third level. They shook the rust off and are ready to have a great season! Virginia Beshirs and Belinda made great progress in their training level test and are ready to keep this momentum for the upcoming shows. A big thank you to Marilyn Kulifay for organizing this competition and the Great Southwest Equestrian Center for hosting the dressage crowd once again. I am sharing some nice photos from the exceptional Kristie Scholten Photography.

The theme for the Championships this year was "board games". Rachel Pennington and Caryn Bloom worked together to create a Clue themed tack stall display and an online Clue game! We were all able to participate in different ways and it was a lot of fun! Here are some of the mugshots of our prime suspects!
