Cori Davis Named To USEF 2014 Eventing 25 Squad

The United States Equestrian Federation (USEF) and its Eventing High Performance Department recently announced the list for the Developing Riders/Eventing 25 Program for 2014. Selected by application, 20 riders, under the age of 25, from across the country will benefit from regular access, coaching, and guidance from U.S. Team Coach, David O’Connor. The year will begin with intensive USEF Developing Riders/Eventing 25 Program Training Sessions in January and February in California and Florida, respectively. The sessions will consist of both mounted lessons as well as lectures covering riding theory and technique, stable management, and course design.

Dragonfire is thrilled to announce that our own Cori Davis has been named to list after a stellar year with her partner, A Golden Effort. They finished their whirlwind season with a clear round at their first CCI** at the Galway Downs International Three Day Event in Temecula, California.

Two For Two: Rouge Et Blanc DF Wins Again

Dragonfire Farm is extremely proud of our alumni, Rouge Et Blanc DF and his young rider, Madison Langerak. "Roger" was bred, born and trained here at Dragonfire through Training Level, before being sold to Madison this year as a five year old. Within just a few short months, this fledgling pair has amassed two first place victories in Junior Novice together at the premier venues, Twin Rivers Ranch and Galway Downs, respectively. With the help of Mittleider Eventing, their goal of standing on the Young Rider podium will indeed not be too far into the future! Dragonfire Farm prides itself on breeding and producing top class prospects for the public just like Rouge Et Blanc DF, and we encourage you to take a look at what we have to offer.

Roger and Madison school at home before their competition.

Video Update: Classic Twain DF Wins Young Event Horse Championship

Classic Twain DF put in a lovely performance with Jennifer McFall to win the 2013 West Coast Four Year Old Young Event Horse Championship at The Galway Downs International Three Day Event. A full Thoroughbred, Classic Twain is by Dragonfire Farm's stallion, The Twain, and out of Sapphire Magic. He blew the judges away with his quiet demeanor and his explosive jump, along with his uphill gallop. He bested a very deep field of challengers, including the Reserve Champion, a full sibling to the dynamic 4**** mare, R-Star.
