From 2002 to 2006, I had the pleasure of the most wonderful horse in the world as my dressage partner. This is a tribute to MENTOR, who taught me how to ride. He endured all my mistakes with patience and grace. Everyone that met him loved him. I don't think anyone ever fell off this horse in his life - he was so honest. He is now in Southern California with his new owner, Seelchen Feibush, where he won Prix Saint George Horse of the Year in 2009 and is training for his future at Grand Prix. Thank you, Seelechen for giving Mentor the opportunity to reach his full potential.
