We are heartbroken to share the passing of Liza Dennehy, Michael's sister. Liza was an accomplished rider, a respected judge and course designer and a devoted mother and wife. Liza fought a hard battle with cancer and she will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her.

Our thoughts and prayers are with her family and friends during this incredibly difficult time. 💔

✨ Stunning Stallion for Sale ✨
Corico Z is a 15 year old beautiful stallion with an extensive upper-level show record. He is steady, reliable, brave, and exceptionally easy in the barn. He would make a fantastic move-up horse for a rider looking to be competitive in the 1.10–1.30m classes.
Very sweet in temperament and suitable for a junior or amateur rider, and his hind end…simply superb. 💪
Corico is currently showing in the 1.30 and 1.40 Jumpers and is available to be tried weeks 6-10 at the !

Message us for more details!
