Congratulations to Dr. Sandy Gregory of Memphis, TN on the purchase of her second horse, "Calimba", with the guidance of Alexander Gerding. Sandy comments on her recent successful showing in the Germantown grand prixes with Calimba, and mini prixes with Ganove, "Ganove tried his guts out, I swear that horse knows! Both of my horses were amazing! Thank you for all of the great instruction; so many people came up to me commenting on how well I was riding, and I do owe that level to your clinics - it was the best moment of my riding career so far!" Sandy also trains locally with David Wright and Kim Gentry.

"I bought Calimba in September 2003 after riding her only once in Germany. She had an excellent competition record and seemed to be the next step up for my riding. She has been an amazing amateur horse: easy to work with, exceptionally talented and with a fantastic work ethic. With Calimba, I have had the opportunity to advance my riding to the bigger jumper classes and experience the benefits of dressage at a whole new level." - Sandy Gregory

7 year old "Ganove", imported 2002, and his amateur owner Sandy Gregory of Memphis, Tennessee at the 2004 Germantown Classics. Sandy and "G" had a very successful season, with many clear, reliable rounds, and most important, the fun that a true amateur with a real job in life deserves. Keep going Sandy and "G"!

Erin Helmholz of Springfield, Illinois and "Escorial", 8 year old hanoverian imported 2002, have become a very competitive pair in the junior jumper divisions. They crowned their season placing third in the 2004 all-state finals in Lexington at the Kentucky Horse Park. Congratulations and all the best, good luck for the future, and as always: committed work and training and a good eye for a horse pays off!

Sika Seivers and her horse "Ramazotti" (imported 2003) have had a very successful 2004 show season in the hunter divisions. The 5 year old hanoverian gelding impresses with his ridability, automatic changes, gaits, and form over fences. This couple is growing very nicely together, all the best for a bright future!
