Submitted by Kristin Layton: This is my 6 yr old DHH mare, Lindrini WF. I started her under saddle at 3.5 and this year she’ll be debuting at 4th level. I’ve already earned my bronze on her and I hope to earn all my medals with her.
She was the First & Second Level Open Champion for ADHHA last year and has scores in the 70’s at 1st, 2nd & 3rd levels.
She is super athletic, FULL of personality, a puppy dog on the ground, has great work ethic, thinks very highly of herself and likes to keep me on my toes while riding and I love her ❤️🦄
The dapper Dutch Harness Horse! We are celebrating them as our May Breed of the Month on YourDressage! We recently asked our social media followers to post a photo of their favorite American Dutch Harness Horse or cross to be featured in a gallery on YourDressage! We will be sharing stories from folks who love this breed all through the month of May.
Did you know that dressage riders who choose American Dutch Harness Horses as their mounts are eligible for special awards through the Adequan®/USDF All-Breeds Awards program, as the American Dutch Harness Horse Association and KWPN of North America are both participating organizations?

My trusty jumper steed was reaching the end of his days and a friend offered to let me ride her horses. I had no idea I was going to fall in love with a horse suited for dressage instead of jumping but I would choose Benji a million times over any other horse. He has healed my broken heart and been one of the best things to ever happen to me. He gives me his all every single ride and I can’t thank him enough for that. – Rebecca M.
