Shelley Browning has been riding her entire life, and has rode and competed in hunter/jumpers, three-day eventing, and dressage events and competitions for over 50 years, and has nothing but respect and admiration for the honor and professionalism of the sport.
She has owned all her horses from her first mount, purchased by her father from a backyard in Sylmar, California, to her current horse purchased in Holland two years ago, and, like most riders she knows and has cherished every one of them. To say that her horses, including of course, Vorst D, are loved and respected as family members, and well-treated would be an understatement.
Shelley Browning Dressage feeds her horses special food, fits them with special shoes, turn out privileges, roomy box stalls, covered areas, regular training, high-end care from dedicated experts, vets, and teachers. Over her years of riding, her respect for the judges and administrators of the sport has also been a constant.
