Cesar Parra's Piaffe Performance Dressage in Florida Ends Season on High Note

Noel Williams Has Ride of a Lifetime with Horses Unlimited's Stallion Pik L

Although Noel Williams has been immersed in dressage her entire life, her father in George Williams, she still has had to prove herself as a rider. For the last year Williams has had the opportunity to ride Horses Unlimited’s Pik L. The duo won a gold medal at the USEF Junior Team Championships and now hopes to qualify for the Region 1 NAYRC team. “Pik L is awesome and he really makes you ride,” she says. “If you do things really well you can get really high scores, but if you stay [in your comfort zone] and don’t ride him, you will see that in the score.” One of the things that Williams likes most about Performance Farm is Dr. Parra’s striving to continually improve. She says, “I love it when he goes to Germany or does a clinic and comes home. He learns something every time and he comes back and teaches it to you. …He continually gets better and better. He keeps growing.”
