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

Melissa Jackson Reaches New Heights with New Horse, in Record Time

Dr. Parra’s enthusiasm and success with helping people reach their goals is not just for young riders. It’s what prompted Melissa Jackson to join the Performance Farm team. Jackson has a busy family life and was nearly going to give up her riding dreams when she took a lesson with Dr. Parra. “He really got me excited again. He always has a plan and listens to your opinion. He’s a motivator and is like a mentor to me,” Jackson explains.

With her horse Wellington, a nine-year that Dr. Parra helped find in Germany, Jackson beat most of the top professionals to take second place in the CDI PSG with a 71% in the Zada Enterprises WEF Dressage Classic. This was just one of her top placings in the CDI divisions that have had more than 30 entries at every show.
