Degas

Degas, owned by Marianne Campano, joined the team in the Spring of 2008. Degas will stay with Barbara until September of 2010, when Marianne and her husband will return from their tour of duty in Seoul, Korea. While Marianne misses Degas dearly, she has confidence in knowing that Barbara cares for Degas as she does.
Marianne, an amateur dressage rider, raised Degas from a yearling and took him into his first Prix St George classes. With such a good foundation, Barbara was able to carry on with Degas and begin a successful partnership after a couple of short months!

Now in 2010, Barbara and Degas will be ready for the Grand Prix Ring. Their goal in 2010 is to achieve their USDF Gold Medal.
