Mon Cheri
aka "The Princess"
This fabulous 1992 Danish Warmblood recently arrived at Stoney Wood Friesians to become the dressage partner for resident trainer, Karmen Mills. Cheri arrived from Wellington Florida where she spent the last 6 years successfully showing in dressage at the FEI levels and specifically showing Grand Prix in 2009.
Cheri is much more than just a pretty face - she is an excellent athlete, a talented schoolmaster and has the most delightful personality. She will do a cartwheel for an apple! This girl has it all - thus her new nickname - THE PRINCESS! (And the eight bags of shavings in her stall are there to prove it!)
Karmen is now working with Cheri almost daily. She attended her first clinic with USDF "S" Judge Mike Osinski in January. Mike really had lots of helpful insights for Karmen. Watch out for this incredible pair during the 2010 show season! We'll all be in the stands cheering for Karmen and Cheri!
