If Cassanto were a person you wouldn’t be surprised to see him on a Wheaties box or on the cover of Sports Illustrated. He’s the whole package: athleticism that even a non-horse person can appreciate, consistent year after year, and he’s got personality to boot. Make no mistake, this horse knows he’s a star and […]
The last time Olivia LaGoy-Weltz’s top horse Lonoir headed down centerline it was July 2018, and they placed third in the Grand Prix freestyle in the Aachen CDI4* (Germany).

Danta and his partner Danny Robertshaw also base out of […]

If you closed your eyes during the lessons at the Adequan/USDF FEI-Level Trainer’s Conference, held Jan. 20-21 in Loxahatchee, Florida, you might have imagined ballet dancers in pointe shoes and tights performing pliés at the barre while being coached through warm-ups and suppling exercises. Like a ballet class, the athletes were led through increasingly difficult […]
One summer afternoon in August of 2016, Danielle Ammeson went to bring in her 7-year-old American Warmblood Casino Royale from his paddock at her mother’s home in Sarasota, Florida. As she approached, she saw “Royal” standing motionless on three legs, his right hind hoof elevated. He had a scrape near the hock and was missing […]
