About Us

Hi! I am so excited to be President of SWFDA this year! I am a 4th grade teacher when I am not with my Oldenburg, Castiel. I am very happy to have 2 teenage daughters that  love to ride also, and a very supportive husband.   I would like to see our club continue to grow and enjoy our time together with horses!

Being a SWFDA member for many many  years and holding a lot of board position in the past  I am very dedicated to make dressage interesting to my students no matter what age and background. Dressage is my passion and I like to share it. I am working on myself to become a better rider every time I mount a horse. 

Please assist our association in becoming involved in the beautiful and challenging sport of dressage. 

I am 55 years young and still competing on my big boy CHOPIN. My love to musical rides is what makes this sport especially interesting to me.

  I started riding when I was in the seventh grade. My hubby and I started being snowbirds three years ago, and that’s when I met Doris, who encouraged me to become a member in SWFDA.  

Henry has been riding for most of his life. He studied and raised his horse Smooth Bullett with the Clinton method.  He and his wife Ann are always ready to help with SWFDA events!

 I started riding horses at a young age and lived in a small town where my best friend and I could ride our horses pretty much anywhere we wanted to go.  I competed as a hunter/jumper for many years.  Last year I moved to Florida from the Pacific Northwest, and met Doris and started taking dressage lessons. I am thrilled to be learning dressage, and excited to be a part of SWFDA!!  

  I am happy to be SWFDA secretary and involved in the club again.  There are so many great people in our club, all sharing  a love for horses and dressage.

I am working on improving my dressage riding and enjoying my sweet Arab mare who got me through my battle with cancer this past year.  And I’m looking forward to a fun 2021/2022 show season!

 I have been a member of SWFDA for 8 years & am excited to be show secretary this year!  My Quarter Horse, Sam, is retired from the show ring, but I borrow my mom's horse for a Freestyle now & then.
