Tracy Durham and Emperor

Tracy has been a long time Albion saddle sponsored rider on her Trakehner gelding, Emperor. Tracy trains and rides in Central NYS at Wildwood Farm in Port Crane, NY and is a student of Carol Lavell. Tracy rides in an Albion Legend 5000 Dressage saddle.

Tracy is pictured here competing at Grand Prix at the Chemung County Fairgrounds in 2005. Picture taken by Belinda Messersmith.

Most recently, Tracy and Emperor competed at the Westbrook Dressage Show in Westbrook, CT. With sloppy footing and with no warm-up, they received a 61% at Grand Prix. Once the footing dried up and they were able to warm-up, the score jumped to a 69% in their Grand Prix Freestyle winning that class. Congratulations! Look for Tracy's interview with The Chronicle of the Horse on their website www.chronofhorse.com.

They are now off to the Western PA Dressage Association and Grand Haven Dressage shows in Jefferson, OH in the coming weeks. We wish them much success!
