Noel Williams Dressage
CURRENT COMPETITION HORSES
Noel trains and provides top-notch care to the horses at her barn. Using her tried-and-true training techniques and curriculum, she develops them to be the best they can be. Here are the horses currently in Noel's program.
SIR VELO
Owner: Noel Williams and George Williams
Breeder: Judith Deipenbrock-Strunk
2006 17.1h Westfalen gelding by Sandro Bedo (Sandro Hit x Donnerhall) x Florestan. A true character, Sir Velo always has a wild look in his eye yet is one of the kindest horses you’ll ever meet. He is a fun loving show-off who always takes care of his rider and absolutely loves trail rides! Noel and Sir Velo qualified for the US Developing Championships in the Developing Grand Prix, where they placed Fourth overall in 2016. They were named Reserve Champions in the Open Grand Prix at the USDF Regional Championships for the second year in a row in 2016 and 2017, qualifying them for the US Finals. The pair qualified four years in a row to compete in the Open Grand Prix at the US Finals, competing three years and placing in the Top 10 in 2015 and 2017.
FONTAINE MF (LAINEY)
Owner: Kim Bartlett
Breeder: Maryanna Haymon, Marydell Farm, USA
2013 16.1h Hanoverian mare by Fidertanz (Fidermark x Ravallo) x De Niro. A true gem, Lainey is perfect. Kind, forgiving and tremendously willing, she is an absolute delight to train. Lainey has been a wonderful schoolmaster for her owner, Kim, as she also moves up the levels. Though she is little, Lainey has presence and seems to grow as she works. She has a talent for the collected work and gets better and better the further along she is in her training. Lainey and Noel are competing PSG, working towards the I2/Developing GP, while Lainey and Kim are competing Third Level, working towards Fourth Level and the PSG. Lainey has already earned Kim her bronze medal!

FLORANHALL (FRED)
Owner: Helen Larsen
2004 16.1h Westfalen gelding by Floret As x Donnerhall. A kind gentleman with a cheeky side to him, Fred can easily go from showing off his fancy moves to a gentle schoolmaster to teach the basics. Fred loves to hack, and loves his Jack Russell, Poppy, who often joins him and his owner Helen on his hacks. Fred is competing Third Level while working towards PSG, with an incredible talent for piaffe and passage.
A PERFECT MELODY (MELODY)
Owner: Larry Getto
Breeder: Larry Getto, Stone’s Throw Farm, USA
2012 16.1h German Sport Horse mare by Soprano (Sandro Hit x Contender) x Riverman. This rising star has a bright future! Melody has three super gaits, with tremendous suspension and cadence. She floats across the arena! Very kind and sweet, Melody also knows just how special she is and loves to show off in the show ring. She’s also very sensible and enjoys hacking out. Melody is currently competing Training and First Level. While she is a bit behind in her training, she is intelligent with very clear GP talent and will progress up the levels quickly!

IKE
Owner: Larry Getto
Breeder: Larry Getto, Stone’s Throw Farm, USA
2012 17h Dutch Warmblood gelding by Raine Dance (Concorde x Rivaal) x Olympic Animo. A handsome, sweet boy, Ike is a bit shy and takes a bit to come out of his shell. Once he does he is full of personality and charm! His jumping bloodlines make him quite the athlete, uphill in his confirmation with a powerful hind. Ike is always eager to please, and always well liked by the judges. Ike is competing Training and First level while working towards Second and Third with his rider, Ann Hart, with the FEI in sight!
