Equine Canada
is pleased to announce that
Desi Dillingham
,
MBE, Special Advisor (dressage), has graciously agreed to
spearhead building and leading a team of experts to design and
implement programs for Canada’s current and future international
dressage stars. After an in-depth review and interview process to
fill the role of Technical Advisor / Chef d’Equipe for dressage, it
was decided not to proceed with filing the role at this time, and that
the best course of action for the future of dressage is to draw upon
Canada’s own immense pool of expertise and diverse resources.
The goal is to create a team that will work collectively to design
The
Cesar Torrente
clinic was a huge success and a
special thanks goes out to
Patrick
and
Marisol Burssens
for donating their IDA -
International Dressage Academy
in
Wellington, Florida where it was cool and dry under the IDA
covered arena. Cesar, who is a very busy 3* judge, competitor,
and lawyer, took two days out of his vacation in the U.S. to
teach the clinic and if you missed it you can watch for the
inspiring clinic on

In case you haven’t heard, IDA is for sale! ... what a facility to

are planning on retiring??? Far too young and talented ... don’t
you dare!
