We always put a lot of thought into our judge selection and we are pleased to tell you a little about our "S" judge Dolly Hannon who is pictured with her current dressage horse Electra. A former Westport, CT native, Dolly has trained and taught dressage for over 30 years including 3 students who have acheived all Bronze, Silver & Gold medals in her training at Table Mt Ranch in Golden, Colorado. She is the current chairperson of the USDF Freestyle committee, former member of USDF judges committee and helped develop and rewrite the USDF continuing education program for "L" grads and judges on the freestyle judging. Dolly judges an average of 27 shows per year and is a clinician for about 20 clinics per year. Dolly's young horse Electra, a Dutch Warmblood mare, finished the 2016 season with 17 scores in the 70's including 3 at 77. We are more than honored to have this busy professional as our guest judge on August 27th and August 28th for the clinic!!
