The Classical Horsemanship world loses another master, "a Keeper of the grail" Melissa Simms (November 19,1952-February 14,2018)

2/17/2018

To the World and Classical Horsemanship Community, we have lost another true master and "Keepers of the Grail". It is with broken hearts that myself and Petra must bring this sad news. Our beloved friend, riding teacher and mentor of many years, Melissa Simms has passed this Valentine's day 2018. This is devastating for all who knew this talented, amazing, beauty of a woman. She is with Love and Peace of Spirit now and with her Mentor Herr Egon von Neindorff. Although it is difficult to do her wisdom and extraordinary talents as a teacher and trainer of Classical Horsemanship justice... Her memory will live on through her dedicated students, as we will still hear her voice on the wind. As she would say "Let's keep counting the Piaffe Steps and not lose sight of the future".
With Gratitude Your Loving Students,
Tressa Boulden and Petra Beltran

Traditions farm has another bronze medal earner!!!

7/28/2017

Paloma David earned her bronze medal this show season on Friesian gelding "Hendrik Fan De Sweach". Paloma needed two more scores to gain her bronze and the pair pulled it off in two short rides. Paloma was new to 3rd level work, however she rode Hendrik beautifully under the tutelage of her mentor and Hendriks trainer Tressa Boulden. A job well done by all, especially Paloma who makes us all very proud!
