GiGi (Cavallo Grigio) -  April 21, 2000 to November 10, 2011

From race horse to cover girl - her elegance will be missed.

 

 We Offer Side Saddle Instruction

 

My aim when teaching side saddle is to create the safest seat and most elegant picture I can...when these are achieved, the rider should be in a position to ride almost any horse and be able to get the best performance from that horse...
