Congratulations Raymond J Denis! We were thrilled & honored to facilitate this ride!!
💛🖤💛
Happy ! Help us celebrate by meeting Team #659: Raymond Denis and Neokolis (MA).
Neokolis (age 30) had 30 racing starts and was in the money six times. From there, his career path took him into the world of hunter/jumper competitions. After a successful second career, Neokolis went on to a third helping special needs students through a therapeutic riding program. He was then turned out to pasture and found by his current owner, Jonathan Hall, who took him on a “free lease.” Jonathan took Neokolis to Atkinson Riding Academy in New Hampshire for recovery and restored him to working condition with the help of Crystal Little, owner/trainer of Atkinson Riding Academy.
Raymond (age 70) began his riding career as a professional in 1971 at a Myopia Hunt Club polo. His involvement at the club included polo groom/trainer, fox hunting, and later combined training. In 1977, Raymond apprenticed with John Pingree at Huntington Farm Horse Trials, Vermont. He was given Combined Training Technical Delegate status and later Dressage Technical Delegate status by the American Horse Show Association (now USEF).
Raymond also had great accomplishments in the field of humane equine welfare through the inclusion of equine ambulances at events, rules of whip use, and guidelines for the United States Polo Association. Raymond said, “I currently officiate an average of 20 dressage shows and events each year and I am the voice for the horses in competition because they cannot speak for themselves.”
Raymond also said, “I thank The Dressage Foundation’s Century Club for the opportunity to re-test my equine skills with Neokolis and I thank God for the ability to do so after four major surgeries during the year 2021. I had not ridden a horse for 10 years before the Century Club ride on June 10, 2023, and Neokolis and I are both very proud of each other!”
The Century Club is for horse and rider teams whose combined age is at least 100. Learn more about joining at https://bit.ly/3ztIf3n
Thank you to Platinum Performance and many generous donors for supporting the Century Club!

So cool! Maybe I’ll spray paint my tack 😂
If you tuned in to the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade or the Thanksgiving Day NFL game, NBC’s latest commercial promoting the Paris 2024 Olympic Games may have caught your attention. Rapper Megan Thee Stallion stars in the commercial alongside six U.S. Dressage athletes and their horses.

A very important reminder courtesy of the horse doctors at Miamitown Equine Veterinary Services:
"When securing blankets, make sure that the snaps/clips are facing inward, toward the horse! If they are facing out, they can easily become stuck on something, like the hay net in the picture."
