Big Red Horse at ATA Convention
Laura Wharton rode Favian *Ps* at the ATA Convention in Denton, Tx last fall. In an East meets West exhibition that was the final performance of the night, Favian and a World-Class reining horse showcased the similarities and the differences between upper level dressage and reining. It was a fun performance met with much audience applause.
Favian and Carol at 2nd Show
This photo was taken at our second show last year. You can see that we are having a good time, but still figuring things out. The most fun thing about showing this amazing horse is his phenomenal temperament. Most people have no idea that I am sitting on the amazing Trakehner stallion, Favian!
I’m happy to report that at our final show last fall, we came home with two 68 percents and two blue ribbons at 1st level. We are still planning our 2008 show schedule, but we plan to compete at First Level Dressage and continue the quest for the USDF bronze medal.

Square format, uphill structure with distinct topline, harmoniously shaped neck and large shoulder, always moving uphill with self-carriage.
