Silverwood Farm Dressage – An Oasis in the Heartland

Competitors and Judges Love Coming to Silverwood

“I love coming to Silverwood to judge.” said Sarah Geike, who judged the June 11-12 show. “Howard and Lisa are so warm and welcoming, and the shows are run like clockwork. If you are lucky enough to be invited back the next year, Lisa comes up with her schedule, and all the dates are set in stone before I go home.”

Silverwood hosted top judging talent, such as Geike, Betsy Berry, Tom Poulin, Lois Yukins, Gail Hoff Carmona, Joan Humphrey, and Natalie Lamping just to name a few.

“Howard and Lisa are always improving their property, making this an ideal setting for horses to compete.” Said Carole Allaguer, owner of the farm next door, where Patricia Becker rides and trains a string of top quality horses. “We are lucky enough to be able to ride over for shows, but this area is an easy commute for people from Illinois, and Michigan.”
