On July 7, Massar Stables of Arlington, TN hosted another clinic with Tami Crawford of College Grove, TN. About ten or so riders braved the heat to learn from Tami and improve their dressage skills.
Tami Fleming Crawford and her longtime partner Dakota, an Oldenburg Gelding, competed among the top twelve in the 2000 Olympic Selection Trials in Florida. But after the trials, Dakota was sidelined with a mysterious injury. But the handsome chestnut gelding bounced back, placing fifth in the 2002 World Cup Trials in Los Angeles. The pair returned to the Olympic Selection Trials in 2004. During the 2004 Dressage in Florida season the duo continued to gain in strength and results as the season progressed.
The 14-year-old gelding by Donnerhall has been Tami's horse since he was a four-year-old, and like his stable mate Markant, Crawford has trained both her horses to Grand Prix competing successfully, in spite of raising a family and running a busy training and lesson operation at her farm in College Grove, Tennessee.
