SKM Dressage: FEI Dressage Training in the Pacific Northwest

Versache is owned by Tower Lane Farm, a valued contributing sponsor of SKM Dressage. Versache is a stunning 2002 KWPN Stallion out of Olympic Icodus and Olympic Ferro. Versache's temperament is exceptional and a pure joy to work with. His training is progressing at a phenomenal rate and I am so pleased with his consistent improvement. In June '07 we were excited to take Versache to EI's Beaujolais Dressage Show for a Training level debut. Our expectations were fair given the fact that at just 5 years old he is still quite young and new to the experiences of a show atmosphere. Versache continued to impress us all throughout the duration of the show. I am pleased to announce that Versache surpassed our expectations and brought home the Open High Point Championship for the EI Beaujolais Show. With a winning score of 74.4% in Training Level. Again I am so pleased with this amazing stallion. I am so thankful to have the opportunity to have Versache as a riding partner. I look forward to a very successful show career. Please check back for more information about Versache.

Blair Jordan and Ravel have been partnered for 3 years. Started at 1st level (barely) and are now trying out for the Advanced Young Rider team. Was the Danish Warmblood High Point winner at Dressage at Devonwood in 2008. Successfully competed at 3rd and 4th level last year. We have been through alot together and become more and more in-tune with each other everyday. I have absolutely loved working with Shaun and am so fortunate that she has given me the chance to be her working student. I have learned so much and gained much experience with the horses here. I look forward to lots of riding and learning ahead! With Shaun's help and dedication, Ravel and I have reached and surpassed our goals of competing at the upper levels. We are still going strong and are chasing our big time dream of catching a spot on the 2009 NAJYRC team!
