Dressage
in the Wine Country
Michael performed at the 25th Anniversary of Dressage in the Wine Country
with his mare Daydreams on September 15, 2007 at the Sonoma County Fairgrounds
in Santa Rosa, CA. More to come on this experience.
One of the spectators had this to say about Michael's ride:
"I've been a dressage rider since 1977 (giving my age
away). I saw you at Dressage in the Wine Country riding
the lovely mare. I was so delighted to see an upcoming
gorgeous rider with hands so soft and a seat so secure.
You were one with the horse. Rarely do you see such beauty.
It is wonderful that you are helping teach the world how
to ride. Thanks for your performance and you will be a
real asset to the American riding teams in the future.
Good luck to you in the future."
