NEWS FROM THE APRIL NEWSLETTER
From Topline Stables: Welcome Darvee! Regina and Edy Sacha-Ujczo have added another four-hooved family member this past year. Don Darveen - aka "Darvee" was imported from Germany and is rapidly loving his new life in the United States. Regina and her trainer, Janeen Langowski of Topline Stables traveled to Germany with Jan Ebeling this past November to find Darvee. He is an 11-year old Holsteiner (and Hanoverian) by the famous Germany stud Donnerhall. He is 17.0 hands, very dark brown and adorable. He is trained to Grand Prix and is currently teaching Regina how to half-halt as she winters in Florida with Nancy M. Smith. Darvee loves his turnout and rolling in the sand. He is a "love bug" and very kind. We all look forward to seeing this new pair soon!
Regina’s former mount, Foenix, is currently being ridden by Junior Rider extraordinaire, Chelsea Allen of Erie, PA. Foenix is planned to be sold as a very generous schoolmaster at the end of this year's show season. We wish Regina and Darvee and Chelsea and Foenix lots of fun and success this show season!
From Transitions Dressage: Lauren Ball Tisdale attended the Palm Beach Dressage Derby February 28-March 2. She showed Suzy Coleman’s Brazen Beauty at Training Level. She earned scores of 66%, 68% and 70% and collected 2nd, 3rd and 4th places. She was thrilled, especially with the tough competition there!
