This photo is dedicated to anyone who has been told they have a worthless horse, that they will never be dressage potential, that you’ll never amount to anything.
Danz Music; OTTB, ex-broodmare, dangerous to handle, purchased by the pound, told she would never be sound enough to ride. “OTTBs aren’t pretty dressage horses.” “She’s okay… nothing special.” “The two of you won’t go anywhere without thousands of dollars in help.”
"What you critics said would never happen. We dedicate this [photo] to anybody people said couldn’t make it."
This really helped me! Sure my mare is 11 years old and she’s not doing anything right now because I’m 800 miles away from her at college but that doesn’t mean that one day we can’t make it. So happy about your story. She looks amazing. <3 Thank you
Extra points for the FOB reference!
Just a note too, this horse is sixteen years old (b. 1998) and has only been in real training for about a year (with the majority of that being time off due to a working student position, full-time jobs, etc.). All time that has been put on her was by an advanced beginner rider with major confidence issues.
Danz is an incredible horse.
