Everyone had a grand time! We had two debuts, Honor Wallace and her Gypsy Vanner, Leo Dinardo made a huge splash winning Intro I with a huge score of 73 and were 2nd in Intro II with a score of 62.

Michelle and Pete Geruko's magnificent Friesian stallion Yorrik was ridden by Pam to a 2nd in Training level test 4 with a score of 69. Pam also rode Leo Dinardo in Training Level 4 to a 63.

Bernadette Brown and Isaiah also had a fabulous ride until Isaiah found himself overcome with an attraction to the judge at C where he tried to jump into the judge's lap.

An outstanding effort and Congratulations to ALL!

'Dare to Believe' Christian Dressage Retreat
Was a breath of fresh air in this hot Texas summer. We had wonderful and very educational lectures and demos, something was learned by all! Pam taught all weekend, of course. Saturday we gathered in Pam's new barn and shared lunch and fellowship. Derek's band played and we sang praises together in the breezeway. Keith then lead us in prayer and we blessed the new barn. Saturday evening Pam performed a Grand Prix Freestyle to praise music on Star In Stripes, who danced his heart out! Sunday morning everyone sat in an amphitheater created from bales of hay and enjoyed breakfast with Starbucks coffee and then an awesome annointed worship service. The presence of God was undeniable, and a special bond was created between all who attended.

A Very Special Thank You to:

  • Denise Moore for many tireless hours of organization
  • Lauren Bezold for her help in preparing
  • Karen Borne for the saddle fitting demonstration
  • Jackie Duval for the Chiropractic presentation
  • Torrey Jeanes for massage therapy
  • Adolf Strickler for the shoeing consultation.
  • Kelly Smith for her wonderful photography.
  • Derek Freeman and his band for providing the music.
  • Hugo and the crew for setting up and making the hay amphitheater in the new barn.
We were blessed beyond our wildest imaginations... I think we have started something! We're already planning another one...!

"Thank you from the bottom of my heart to all who participated!" Pam
