As a toddler in Maine, Lendon Gray was riding a horse with her mother
before she could walk. She grew up riding western, hunt seat, bareback,
playing gymkhana games, driving and generally having fun riding and caring
for horses. Pony Club played the central role in her life from age 7 through
her twenties. During that time she also trained with the Olympic Three Day
Team.
At 27 Lendon started to specialize in Dressage and at the same time Seldom
Seen the first of her famous Dressage "ponies" came into her life.
At 14.2 plus he was national champion at 3rd, 4th level, Prix St. George's,
Intermediare 1 and 2, and Grand Prix.
Although Lendon rode warmbloods in her two Olympics, the world
Championships, and the World Cup her ponies held a special place in her
heart. They proved to the world the bigger isn't necessarily better. This
experience also gave Lendon direction to encourage those without the
fanciest horses, trainers, greatest opportunities to be "the best that
you can be".
Now while running Gleneden Dressage, a stable with 52 horses under her
supervision, Lendon is extremely active with the USET, AHSA, USDF. Her
greatest energies go to trying to develop all riders, but juniors
especially, to learn correct basics and become all-round horseman.
Lendon has written a very popular book that makes Dressage seem much less complicated: Lessons with Lendon. For more on Lendon go to http://www.horsesdaily.com/whoswho/gray_lendon/index.html
