Hi All!I'm a dressage rider, that specializes in training horses for dressage utilizing the Cathy Morelli "System". I have traveled from Florida to Alaska and parts inbetween teaching clinics (all levels/all breeds), and I also compete my horses and those of my clients on the prestigeous south Florida Winter Equestrian Festival show circuit! I also find time to do a few Exhibitions with Friesians and other Baroque breeds at only the most prestigeous of venues! I was several years on the USDF Freestyle Committee, and I'm currently the Performance Director for the Friesian Registry "Friesians of America" (FOA).

For those that don't know CATHY MORELLI, I hope one day that YOU get to meet her! She is one phenominal lady! I call her my coach, my mentor, my friend. I hope to absorb as much as I can from this woman as the years go by, for she truly has come to understand horses, and she has created a "system" of training that brings us back to our classical roots, and I will continue to strive to emulate her way of riding and "giving" each day. She has a gift, and she is willing to share it, .. all for the "good of the horse", and I applaud her for sticking to her guns! Visit her website: Cathy Morelli - invest in those two DVD's she's put out. This video below is Cathy schooling the Grand Prix gelding BeSe in the one's and two's (Flying changes), as well as the canter pirouette during her warmup for a dressage competition held at the Winter Equestrian Festival in Feb 2007. Then I have shown the actual part of the test where she performs these movements, with just one tiny boo-boo at the start of the two's. :) - Overall, .. it's AWESOME up and out work, done elegantly, and with shear grace.
JUST FOR FUN! Here's another Cathy Morelli video snippet that I took. This is in 2005 when BeSe was just starting to come into his own with the piaffe/passage work! (if you don't see it .. click in the black area .. sometimes twice! LOL
