Fellow belongs to Sammie Leary, Owner/Director of Royal Piaffe International. He is by Florian
out of a mare by Mahagoni. He shows tremendous ability for FEI dressage & I am thrilled to be his
rider/trainer!!!

Charlotte & Chilly

Charlotte was 12 years old when I first met her in North Carolina in 1996, I trained her Anglo-Arab pony, Chelsea, while I was an apprentice with Hokan Thorn. Fast forward 14 years, Charlotte is now a grown woman & an attorney. She saw my ad for working students on Virginia Equestrian & responded. She is now working at Royal Piaffe with me 3 days a week. Charlotte's experience with the horses combined with her professionalism bring a warm welcome from all of us here at the farm.

Charlotte is seen in this photo riding Chilly, owned by Carrie McCrory of Fairfax, Va.

Lola, November 14, 2010

Lola is a beautiful mare owned by my apprentice, Kristen Tobey. Kristen & Lola have been in my barn for about 10 weeks. Kristen was previously riding Lola as a schooling hunter. They are both making excellent progress in their effort to learn dressage:)
