Shelley Browning Dressage
Shelley Browning Dressage has owned all her horses from her first mount, purchased by her father from a backyard in Sylmar, California, to her current horse purchased in Holland two years ago, and, like most riders she knows and has cherished every one of them. To say that her horses, including of course, Vorst D, are loved and respected as family members, and well-treated would be an understatement.
Shelley feeds her horses special food, fits them with special shoes, turn out privileges, roomy box stalls, covered areas, regular training, high-end care from dedicated experts, vets, and teachers. Over her years of riding, her respect for the judges and administrators of the sport has also been a constant.
Shelley has owned the following horses during her dressage career:
Shelley describes dressage as the art of riding and training a horse in a manner that develops obedience, rhythm, relaxation, connection, impulsion, straightness, and collection. Dressage is an Olympic sport and is also included as a discipline in the Olympics for 3-day eventing, (which includes dressage, cross-country, and stadium jumping over 3 days of competition).
