Anne Gribbons – US Dressage Team Chef d’Equipe, ‘O’ Judge, GP trainer, rider and competitor, Journalist…………and friend. To the point, never holding back with criticism or praise, Anne Gribbons has been a strong influence in the development of both Raison d’Etre and Oyente’.

Bettina and crew

Bettina Drummond - Considered a ‘Living Legend’ in the Classical Dressage world, she is also an accomplished pianist, poet, journalist and one of my ‘oldest’ friends. Her approach to training have opened many doors for us and her intellect makes our conversations something I will treasure forever.

Harry and Beckie Butler - The owners of Oyente’ have become strong staples in my life, always willing to give advice or lend a helping hand which I deeply appreciate.

Phaedra Spradlin and Carolin Walz, the owners of Dreamtime Farm – Long before they bred my incredible GP horse Raison d’Etre, they were good friends. My life would look very different if these two would not have supported us, time and time again.

Peg Blosser - My ‘Rock of Gibraltar’ has been a friend, business partner and staunch supporter for over a decade. I just can’t say ‘thank you’ often enough.

Dr. Joy Baker - Chiropractor and friend extraordinaire – she has been a part of our team and success for many years

Dr. Leslie Kinchen- Smart, straight forward, never pulling a punch – she has become a key member of our team !

Darren Haeusler - This ‘tall drink of Australian water’ has been our farrier for years, always willing to go the extra mile ( followed by a smart remark) to assure the health and success of our horses.
