Salope: My first show in my borrowed shadbelly with my new horse, Salope, at Prix St. Georges. "Sally" has been trained to Grand Prix and was found for me in Germany by my trainer, Alex Gerding. (See info about Alex on the "News and Clinics" page.) It's such a pleasure to learn FEI on a horse that can teach me. She's truly a gift. Sally has received many compliments from judges/trainers who have seen her: Gerd Zuther, Linda Zang, Stephen Clarke and Janet Foy. (Photo by Fire and Earth Photography)

Wyndara (Widmark-Brienza/Bergamon), is a 2004 Hanoverian filly bred by Caryn. 
Wyndara has very good, uphill movement, a correct topline, is level-headed and
loves attention. At her first USDF breed show in June 2006, she was named Young
Horse Reserve Champion. At her second USDF breed show in August, she again
was Reserve Champion with a score of 82.4%! She ended the year in 13th place for
USDF Horse of the Year 2-year-old Fillies. She is now under saddle and doing well.
Naturally round, doing lateral work including half pass. Flying changes have been started.
This is a photo from her first show summer of '09. (Photo by Fire and Earth Photography.)

Brienza (Bergamon-Davignon/Donnerhall), a 2000 elite Hanoverian mare, was selected
and purchased as a weanling by Caryn from a private farm in Germany. Brienza earned a
7.3 at her in-hand inspection, scoring 8s on her walk and impulsion/elasticity. At her Mare
Performance Test (when in foal), she earned a final score of 7.33. Brienza is currently
schooling 4th/PSG. She was one of eight horses selected to participate in the 2005 Olympic
Incubator Clinic with Betsy Steiner. Brienza is currently in Florida, so take a break from the
winter and check out this exciting horse for your own! (Photo by Kay Geraghty)
