The Piaffe performance team has had greatly successful show season thus far! The team started out with some great rides in Florida earlier this year. In the lower levels Kevin Kohmann most notable scored an 81% aboard Whoopie Gold at Dressage at White fences and staying consistently in the upper 60's and 70's. Piaffe Performance's crop of young riders, Kevin on Sally Bailey's Captain Louie, Julie McKean aboard her Stravinsky, and Anna Stovall on Wellington Farm's, Narok, all had great rides throughout the Florida season. Julie McKean put in her stalwart performances consistently placing in the top three, with Kevin staying right there with her. Narok and Anna Stovall had a good first season out together, making Narok's debut at PSG. Julie McKean's hard work and dedication earned her a spot in the USEF Gladstone Festival of Champions, where only the best 12 Young Riders of the United States are invited to compete. Julie went on to finish up her last year as a young rider in her third consecutive NAJYRC. She rode beautifully for Region 8 at the championships held in Lexington, KY. Congratulations Julie McKean on her decorated and well earned Young Rider Career!
Other highlights from the Florida season include the highly successful team of Eduardo Munoz and Flovino- the pair won five out of six outings and were the Palm Beach show series high scoring combination for third level! Agastrofas was another very notable Florida season, winning 7 of 10 second level classes with scores steadily in the upper 60's. Aga has gone on to show his great potential by earning a 70% at his Third Level debut and continuing to earn scores the upper 60's!
After the Florida season was through, the whole team headed north for New Jersey for the summer. And after a brief intermission, the winning continued, but this time with a few new members! Dr. Arnold and Lori Walshington's Olympia had a fabulous start under Dr. Cesar Parra- getting a 75% at Intermediare I! As their partnership continued to grow as did their winnings. Olympia was Cesar's inaugural mount as a United States citizen as they won the Raleigh CDI*** PSG and Intermediare I! Olympia is continuing his success with some great freestyles and is looking forward to Devon at the end of the season. Congrats to Cesar on your first win as an American citizen! We are all very proud and are honored to have him representing the United States!
The Raleigh CDI 3*** was a great show for all, Julie MCKean placing in her young rider classes and finishing first in the Young Rider Freestyle. Anna Stovall and Narok had a great show too with improvement from the Florida Season and joining Julie in the awards ceremony. Dr. Jackson Morgan's Florence had a very successful show too, winning her classes and showing off what a fabulous talent she is. Katie Riley also had solid performances at 4th level with Dancing Queen, scoring as high as 68%- thanks guys for doing a stellar job representing the team down south!
As the summer has worn on and the temps have heated up- so has the riding! The Piaffe Performance's younger team has headed off to farm to get their feet wet and start their careers. Katie Riley's Zanzibar did his very first Training Level test and won with a 71%! Weekend Pleasure, owned by Micheal Davis, has had an illustrious beginning as well. Earning scores as high as 77% at training level and going on the finish his first USEF Four Year Old Test with an unprecedented 8.8! Whoopie Gold has been doing very well with Katie and continues to earn high scores in the FEI 5 year old competitions and scores as high as 78% in training and first level! Out youngest member of the Piaffe Performance Team Bebe Davis has set a new person best of 72% on her pony Bohdjan- Way to go Bebe! Meanwhile the Simmons family is in heated competition with their mount Joshephin aka Jojo! Ken and Wendy are battling it out, and Ken is eagerly awaiting his next opportunity to achieve a new PR! The other equine member of the Simmons family, Brandy V has been excelling with Anna Wieler who is competing for her first time in the United States! Brandy and Anna have been doing very well together, scoring only in the upper 60's and 70's at fourth level.
Several horse and rider combinations have moved up in the upper levels. Kevin and Louie have made a very successful jump into the Intermediare, winning their first Intermediare together with a 67%! Kevin has also ridden Dancing Queen to very good scores in the PSG and Young Rider Tests, scoring consistently in the upper 60's. The dynamic duo of Maggie Maguire and Presso have headed back into the show ring and are doing great! Susie Belanger has made a splash back into the show ring too with great results on her Mojo- winning all of her classes! Great job Susie, Maggie, and Kevin!
So far the Piaffe Performance Team has been winning across the spectrum of competitive dressage! Just another indication that the methodology used at Piaffe Performance is a recipe for success for all of our team members. We are looking forward to Devon at the end of the season and are expecting a couple of exciting performances! Great Job Team and good luck with the rest of the season! |

We have had a tremendous season thus far. Our new Grand Prix horse ECU 8 placed consistently, his accomplishments including good marks in CDI's and 1st place in Wellington. Donovan, who now has the highest score for the Six year old FEI test, won 1st place in 14 out of 15 classes, recently winning the Eastern League for young horses. Our Furst Fabio's growth continues favorably: he has won in Prix St. George and the Grand Prix is right around the corner. Emily Wagner has had the opportunity to ride Sally Haswell's horse, Molinari, and qualified for Gladstone as part of the Top Twelve in the nation for the Young Riders Competition, finishing Sixth in the final. She now looks forward to representing her region in the North American Young Rider Championships. Eduardo Munoz and his horse, Saronno, qualified for the Pan American Games in Brazil. Maurizio Sanchez won in Prix St. George with his horse Iowa, receiving a score of over 70%. Julie McKean and her lovely Stravinsky are continuing to grow in the Young Rider division. Cesar is looking forward to excellent results in the Pan American Games on Silver Label, owned by Michael Shondel. Shondel himself did very well in the Paxton Farm CDI, with 3rd and 4th placements. The rest of the students have done tremendously well at shows, earning numerous esteemed ribbons. We hope the rest of the year will be as rewarding. We would sincerely like to thank everyone whose support has been invaluable in making this year such a success.
Our enthusiastic Adult Amateurs keep showing wonderful improvements throughout the country. |
