The students help and support each other and the shows are always taken with perspective – as milestones along the journey. Located in scenic Rocky Ridge, Maryland, about 10 miles north of Frederick. Dark Horse Dressage is a facility that includes light, airy, matted box stalls and a state-of-the-art indoor arena with new sand and permaflex footing. Features on the farm also include a round pen and regulation outdoor dressage arena with sand over bluestone footing, as well as miles of spectacular trails and open fields.Janna is a U.S. Dressage Federation Gold Medalist who has studied with Georg Heyser, Jessica Ransehausen and Robert Dover. Having competed heavily and successfully on several different horses at CDI-W’s at all FEI levels, she received a USET/Asmis grant to study at Dr. Reiner Klimke’s stable with her horse. Since returning from Germany, Janna has trained with her business partner and participated in clinics with Olympic Judges Stephen Clarke and Linda Zang as well as Chief rider of the Spanish Riding School Arthur Kottas.
