NOVEMBER, 2023: This is an amazing memoir of a young talented Dane who found his way to America and eventually became one of the most successful, esteemed Dressage trainers/instructors in the world today.

NOVEMBER, 2021: I’m regretfully announcing the passing of Volan, a superstar on USC Equestrian Team with his owner Kate Eagleton, then came to me to start a new career in dressage, and leased by Amanda Volz. He had a tragic accident playing in his pasture, resulting in a broken tibia in his left hind leg. He was a special horse and loved by everyone. |

FEBRUARY, 2021: The legendary Sasha Krogager has left us for greener pastures. Sasha Krogager, imported Danish Warmblood was my first teacher dressage teacher. She took me to Prix St. George and won me my Bronze Medal. She also taught many others how to ride. I owned her for 20 years before she died on Feb. 11, 2021 at the age of 32. She taught me so much. Thank you Gunnar and Birgit Ostergaard for finding this special horse for me.
