Living year round in Wellington, Florida, an area of the country that is host to the largest show circuit in the nation for dressage, you get to know many of the riders and trainers who come here to compete. If you are in a private, yet large facility like me, you have the opportunity to watch and learn from many different top professionals who board here. Luckily, all this without having to pay an audit fee. Then again, ... that may be built in to the annual bare stall fee of $3,600.

Since 1988, I have met some real "characters" boarding for the season, and if I'm really lucky, some years I meet those who have character. This has been one of those lucky years. Come with me around the dressage arena as I introduce you to "Garth Harrison" and "The World, According to Garth".
