Dressage Horses

Chewy Chewy is a big bay Thoroughbred with a white blaze. Chewy decided himself that he’d like to be a dressage horse, when he made it clear that he would prefer not to jump. Since then he has been an invaluable asset to our dressage riders, teaching them that soft is better!

Blinky (Irish Myth) is a chestnut Irish Thoroughbred gelding, donated to MHC by alumna Annie Shaker. Blinky’s former career was as a jumper, but he has taken to dressage with alacrity. He scored 70 percent at training level, test 4 in the summer of 2005. Blinky is a pleasure to ride—light in the hand and quick to the aids.

Diva is the mare of the group. this Danish Warmblood mare was donated by John Zieler of New York and is a favorite of the dressage team.

Jake (Just Jake) is a gray gelding. He was donated to MHC in 2005 by Madison and Judy Jones. He was first level champion at a horse show in the summer of 2005. While he is primarily a dressage horse, occasionally he steps in to help our hunt seat riders, who appreciate his willing, forward jump.

Oktane is a 15.3h chestnut Anglo Arab foaled in 1996.  He is a competitive second level dressage horse. His size makes him very rideable and his beautiful face with soft doe eyes melts your heart before you even get on.

Winston is a Thoroughbred donated by Susan Bernard. He is a great teaching asset to the dressage program and jumps for MHC as well.

Billie, Gus, Karat, Frenchie, Tops, and Chandler help with our dressage program as well.
