Dressage Elegance by Vitosh

Dressage Elegance by Vitosh offers lessons, training, showing, and representation services for sport horses, owners, and equine enthusiasts.

My passion for horses started at 7 years old. I currently have 23 years of experience with horses. Although my specialty is dressage, I have also competed in eventing, and in my early years I rode hunters and jumpers and appreciate the connection between dressage and jumping. I have several horses currently I have started under saddle myself and enjoy teaching young horses. Philosophy-
No goal is

too small and no dream is too big. I have dedicated many years to learning many techniques, riding many horses, and studying with different riders to allow me the skills to cater an independent program specifically for you. My compassion for both riders and horses is prevalent in my lessons. At the end of the day we all ride because we feel good doing it and I strongly believe that should always be number one!

Congratulations to Cece, Kendall, and Emma on a great IDCTA. All the rides were so great some of everyones best!

Thanks to the parents of Team DEV for participating in the luncheon!

Kendall and Cece made up the Novice CT division. Kendall took first with a 26 and Cece with a 34.

Cece and Rhodi were Reserve TIP CT high point.

Emma and Guinness got back in the ring after a year long hiatus and scored 2 63s, but more importantly we've put better pieces together for Guinness so he's a more productive partner off property. Onto Training level amidst wedding planning!

Cece and Rhodi scored a huge 68% in their Training level test 1 to earn them TIP high point of Training Level.

Kendall and Rachael earned a huge 69% in their first ever attempt at First Level test 1.

Great job everyone!

When your coach is picky about your dressage, but it shows up in the jumping.

4 long days at NIHJA for Kendall and Cece and I'm so proud of these girls and horses.

Kendall and Rachael took Champion of the Low Hunters.
Officially 3rd in the Derby, but then got an honorary 1st from the 1st and 2nd place team. Then they pushed themselves and the normal program in the jumpers! Learning to add some speed and tighter lines to their tool bag. They were rewarded with a 3rd in their 2'6 and their 3 foot classes!

Cece and Rhodi continue to learn each other and by gosh this horse is finally getting to show us all who he is! Cece spent day one just navigating the ring and horse and then added some speed and crafty turns on day 2 and learned so much and improved a TON over the weekend. They got a 6th in one of their puddle jumper classes. Thanks so much to the Cole family for their support.

And for once we had stacked classes usually averaging 20 plus riders! So nice to compete in big classes.

Thank you to ALL who came out and made this weekend a great team experience. We have a great crew and normally we are all spread out all over and it was fun to have more of our group in one place.

Good luck girls!

It's been a late start to show season, but these two girls came out and had a fantastic weekend!

Kendall and Rachael put in a beautiful dressage test! Granting them lowest score of the show! 💜 They then had a clean stadium round not having jumped a full course since NIHJA finals last fall! They took home first in their division! Congratulations girls! It's always a beautiful sight to watch you go.

Cece and Rhodi made their debut on a complete whim after a spot opened up on Friday! Rhodi hasn't shown in over 3 years and these two still haven't been able to consistently work due to one thing or another! Cece gave him beautiful encouraging rides in both jumping phases that helped him find his rhythm again and it was thrilling to see him find him find his confidence a bit more! Congratulations on a 3rd place finish!

Thanks to the rest of the team for showing up to support!

Starting show season at the end of July, but some years thats the way it goes!

Good luck to Rhodi and Cece and Kendall and Rachael at the fox valley mini event tomorrow!

As you grow in your equestrian journey and find yourself with multiple equine partners there's certain things that stand out.

Most horses peeter out the hotter it gets or the hotter they get. It's natural as the temp rises your body says cool down slow down.

Tessas the second horse I've ever ridden that grits back at that. I can physically see she's hot or hotter than normal yet her attitude and responsiveness doesn't change. If anything you feel a bigger determination. Snaps big girl.

Show season 2022!
