For many years I have watched my wife Cathy perform at the highest levels in Dressage. But I recently saw a young rider that is truly a phenomenon. Cathy has recently worked with Kassie Barteau for a week prior to Devon.
What I saw was a young rider who reminded me a lot of Cathy in her dedication to learning this sport. Kassie’s accomplishments sound almost too good to be true.
