Return Fire – Available for Adoption!
Thursday, February 28 2013
4 year old, 16hh Thoroughbred gelding “Return Fire” is now available for adoption from our Marysville, Ohio facility! There is one word for this cute gelding- lazy. His favorite gear is standing still watching the world go by which means no need to teach him to stand quietly at the mounting block-he has that down pat! It’s the going to work after that that he questions the need for. The first few minutes of the ride are spend winding him up and convincing him everything is going to be okay and then he goes to work. We haven’t had the opportunity to ride outside due to weather, but I am sure he will be more forward outdoors where he is in his comfort zone. It all comes down to him being young minded and not very worldly even though he did have 5 starts at the track. He will need a rider that can bring along a very green horse that has great basics, but needs a firm but confident leader. Under saddle he is light to ride and is short backed enough to be balanced and athletic.

Roffman Rides to High Points at Florida Dressage Classic CDI
Wednesday, February 27 2013
Wellington, FL (February 26, 2013) – What’s better than a great ride on a beautiful horse? Why, two great rides on two horses, of course. Caroline Roffman, who owns and operates Lionshare Dressage with rider and trainer, Endel Ots, continues to successfully campaign the Hanoverian gelding, Bon Chance (Belissimo M x Weltmeyer), winning Sunday’s Developing Horse Prix St Georges (70.147%) at the Florida Dressage Classic CDI, February 14-17, less than a month after equally-consistent Fourth Level marks during the Gold Coast Dressage series, and also had the highest-scoring (66.477%) Lusitano, Uruguai Do Arete, for owners Robinson Lusitanos, in the FEI Prix St George. Roffman said bringing the chestnut gelding Bon Chance, aka Moto, to the show arena at Fourth Level was horse’s first return to the ring since he tied for first in the Six-Year-Old division at the Young Horse Championships in 2012. The goal, after a solid win in the 70’s at Fourth Level, was to bring Bon Chance to Prix St George. With a second place in Saturday’s Developing PSG, and a win on Sunday, the Lionshare Dressage duo is right on track. “I am blessed to develop such horses and am excited for their futures,” she said.
