Ponies were the stepping stone for young
Bebe Davis’
foray into the dressage big leagues and so she and her family
decided to pay it forward by giving back! Instead of selling
her two superstar national dressage champions,
Poldy
10
and
Bohdjan
, she is donating them to
Lendon Gray’s
Dressage4Kids
program so other young dressage riders will
have quality ponies to learn on. Wow, way to go Bebe!

It was a royal victory for Canada’s
David Marcus
! Canadian
Olympian David Marcus riding Chrevi’s Capital won the
Grand Prix and placed second in the Grand Prix Freestyle in
the
$20,000 Royal Invitational Dressage Cup
in November,
2013 in Toronto, Ontario. The win was even more special as
David’s owner,
Deborah Kinzinger
, was also the presenting
sponsor of this year’s event. If watching her horse win at the
Royal wasn’t enough of a dream come true, Deborah was
celebrated as the Dressage Canada “Owner of the Year” in a
special ceremony held during the Royal Invitational Dressage
Cup. Meanwhile, David also received special recognition
by way of the
Ian Nicoll Memorial Trophy
awarded to the
highest-ranked Canadian rider on the FEI World Dressage
Ranking list. Pictured: David aboard Chrevi’s Capital and

Invitational Dressage Cup in Toronto, Ontario.
