Dressage brings high-powered riders
to Hailey

Big show at River Grove Farm
July 8-9


River Grove Farm hosted the annual Wood River Dressage Show July 8-9, 2000.

The event attracted 43 high-powered riders from Idaho, Utah, Colorado and California to Peggy and Parry Thomas’ 62-acre equestrian complex just north of Hailey.

It also attracted a large contingent of fans, drawn both to the top-notch Idaho Dressage and Combined Training Association competition and the beautiful grounds.

Show coordinator Corby Dibble remarked, "We had more spectators than we have ever had. It was a combination of the beautiful weather, the caliber of riders and horses."

Debbie McDonald of River Grove earned High Point rider on her mare Brentina. McDonald was a double gold winner at the Pan Am Games.

Heather Isbell of Idaho Falls won the Dover Second Level Amateur Championship.

Sponsoring classes were:

Sawtooth Auto Sales; Kneeland Galleries; Hawley, Troxell, Ennis & Hawley; Peterson Jewelers; Sherry Daech; Mountain Hearth Farm (James and Elizabeth Smith); S&C Farms (Jim and Barbara Cimino); and Nadine Snyder;

Also, Atkinsons’ Market; Silver Bell Ranch; Melanie and Jeff Nevin; Camille McCray; Sawtooth Tack and Feed; Fox Mountain Farms (Ingrid Gladics); Charlie McWilliams; Practical Planting (Barb Hooper); Del Webb; and Swenke Landscaping.
