2005 Dressage North American Young Rider Silver Medalist - Dani Judy: A Rising Star

The Classical Way to Reach a Goal

Anty seemed to be scared of his own shadow, but that didn’t stop Dani. She took the next four years carefully working him up the levels with her trainer, Debbie Robinson. “I love Debbie because she is a perfectionist. She always puts the horses’ concerns first and she truly loves her horses. Another thing that I really respect about her is her efforts to continue her education. There is always something new that you can learn about horses!”

The three took their time and trained classically and correctly, and it paid off big time. On their resume so far, the pair boasts 2 Region 7 Championships at 2nd level and at 4th level along with the USDF 3rd Level Horse of the Year Championship for Young Riders. In 2004, they made the Region 7 NAYRC Team and took home a Team Gold Medal along with a 5th place overall finish on their first year.
