Dressage at Devonwood Brings CDI Style to the Northwest

Dressage At Devonwood - Raising the Standard

The Rattners’ main goal for Dressage at DevonWood is to raise the standard of dressage in the Pacific Northwest. As the quality of riders and horses improves within the region, riders from more distant places continue to give the local riders a run for their money. During the course of this year’s event, judges and spectators saw many exceptional rides over the course of the weekend.

On Friday the crowd was treated to a beautiful ride by Adrienne Lyle of Haily, Idaho on Peggy Thomas' horse Wizard, a 17.hand Oldenburg gelding (Weltmeyer x Pica). Wizard's metronome-like extensions and powerful delivery of the PSG earned them a 70.625 percent and the High Point FEI award sponsored by County Saddlery.
