Jessie Myers of Breakthrough Dressage

Breakthrough Dressage welcomes VESTO!!! On Monday, November 27, 2006, Jessie welcomed home to Misty Meadow the handsome new man in her life. Vesto is a 2002 imported Dutch Warmblood gelding. He stands 16.1 hands and is a bright chestnut with star, snip and three stockings. Just started under saddle, Vesto has a friendly "pocket" personality. He is lovely to watch and fun to train. Jessie is smitten! Stay tuned over the coming months for many photos of their progress.

These photos were taken in mid March 2007, during a training session at the Spring Dressage at Copper Creek show. The talented youngster is progressing rapidly, and growing! He now stands 16.3 hands. Photos from his debut can be seen on "2007 Shows and Photos I".

Petrie is Jessie's 1992 Trakehner-Arab cross gelding. She has owned and trained him since 2000. Petrie and Jessie qualifed for 2007 Regional Championships at both Prix St. George and Intermediare I. He was 2007 Waterloo Series Champion at Prix St. Georges Open Division as well as Reserve Champion Intermediare I at the Arabian Sporthorse Nationals. Additional photos may be seen on the link "2007 Shows and Photos II and III."

Pluto Sabella II "Snickers" is a 1996 Lipizzan gelding owned by Kathryn and Mike Ring, who also own Misty Meadow Farm. He has been training with Jessie since spring 2005 and is schooling Second Level. The photos below were taken at Misty Meadow's outdoor arena in April of 2006. In 2007 Snickers made his debut at Second Level.

May Bel "Bella" is a 2002 American Warmblood /Friesian Sporthorse owned by Shannon Van Horn. Jessie started her under saddle in December 2005. They competed at Training Level in 2006 and at First Level in 2007, receiving average scores in the high 60s with some in the 70s. These photos were taken at their final show of the 2006 season where Bella debuted at First Level, taking first place with a score of 69 percent. In 2006, Bella qualifed for Region 2 Championships and was also 2006 Midwest Dressage Association Reserve Champion for Training Level. In two years, Jessie has turned Bella into Shannon's oh-so-rideable dream horse. All good things must come to an end and Bella no longer is in training with Jessie but leaves with a big thank you for a job well done!
