With 50 years of riding and horsemanship experience, including showing hunters and jumpers, 3 day eventing

through the intermediate level, dressage through third level, and foxhunting in America, England, Ireland

and Australia, driving became a passion 5 ½ years ago.  The year 2007 included wins in combined driving

at the Advanced Single Horse level at Nature Coast, Black Prong, and the Bromont, Canada International,

with placings at all of the events entered.  My horse, RG Cowboys Black Cadillac, won the 2007 United States

Equestrian Federation Horse of the Year award in combined driving for single horses.  He was also the

2007 Morgan Horse Year End Award winner in the open competition program for combined driving. 

He was Reserve Champion at the National Singles Championship at Fair Hill, Maryland in October, 2007

and the High Point Morgan Horse there.

I also enjoy pleasure shows, competing with both my Dutch horse “Romeo” and “Cowboy” at Brandywine

Valley Driving Club, East Aurora, Lorenzo, Walnut Hill and the Austin Horse Park.  Cowboy was the

High Point Morgan Horse at Gloria Austin's show in Weirsdale, Florida.
