Robert Dover Symposium
&
Crystal Horse Gala
June 27 & 28, 2009
Thank you to all who attended the Symposium & Crystal Horse Gala, one of Robert Dover's first World Farewell Tours.The weekend was packed full of valuable information for horses, riders & auditors. To sum it up...Wow...the Symposium was a Huge Success!
The following is a quote from Robert;
"Approximately 120 auditors and 10 riders showed up and I couldn't’ have been happier with their enthusiasm and sincere desire to learn and have fun. What made the weekend even more special for me was that I was so impressed by the quality overall of the riders and horses. Each and every combination, from Ken Borden’s absolutely fantastic 5 year old stallion, Rashka, to Chrissa Hoffman’s green Grand Prix horse,F. Ferrelli, thrilled me with their potential. Silke Rembacz flew out from New Jersey to ride Becky and Chris’s 6 year old stallion, San Francisco, and again I could not get over how fabulous this horse is!
I also got to see old friends like Kathy Priest and her wonderful mare, Wild Dancer, and Mary Haskins Gurganus riding the stallion, Richmond, both of which are combinations to watch carefully in the future. And then I made some new friends too like Jennifer Roth, who rode her own London Z as well as the Smith’s super Grand Prix mount, formerly ridden by George Williams, Marnix. Jenn is also one to watch for not too long from now.
Jackie Sharp, Sue Black and Lara Silver each rode lovely horses which I enjoyed very much helping them with. And last but most certainly not least was possibly the finest Andalusian I have ever seen or worked with, named Faraon and ridden by Francesca Nicoletti."
Robert, our sincere thanks for your enthusiasm and sharing your vast knowledge with the Midwest. We look forward to having you return in 2010!

The National Dressage Pony Cup & Breed Show
July 30 - August 2, 2009
CDT's first Summer Shows Series including The National Dressage Pony Cup, Breed & Performance Shows was a huge success! Four days filled with excitment! Once again the weather was not our friend for the first two days of the show, however, not to worry, the two indoor arenas came to our rescue! We were able to move back to the outdoor arena for Saturday and Sunday. We would like to thank all competitors, vendors, officials and volunteers who helped to make the Summer Show Series a Success! Special thanks to Jenny Carol and the National Dressage Pony Cup for their support and being part of our show.
We look forward to July 29-August 1, 2010 for the next CDT Summer Dressage Breed & Performance Shows with The National Dressage Pony Cup.
