Not-So-Speedy Dressage

From Endurance to Dressage

Just a quickie ...

Nope, not Speedy G. This is Daff!
Meet Daff and her mom.  Speedy G and I met them on the blog.  They'll be moving to Bakersfield soon, and we can't wait to meet them in person.  Daff is an aspiring dressage pony, just like Speedy G!

Oops!  Forgot to quickly mention that you should check out the newest addition to Bakersfield Dressage, "Who Said That?"  Should be fun!

    About the Writer and Rider

    ​I am a lifelong rider. 
    I began endurance riding in 1996 where I ultimately completed five, one-day 100 mile races, the 200-mile Death Valley Encounter, and numerous other 50, 65, and 75 mile races. I began showing dressage in 2010.
    ​Welcome to my dressage journey.

    About Izzy

    Izzy was started as a four-year old and then spent the next 18 months in pasture growing up. I bought him as a six-year old, and together, we are showing at the lower levels. He is a 2008, 16'3 hand warmblood gelding. His Rheinland Pfalz-saar International (RPSI) name is Imperioso.
