Phyllis Dawson and Albany
II representing the United States
at the Olympic Games in Seoul, Korea, 1988.
|
Phyllis competed at the
highest levels of Three-day Eventing for over thirty years.
She had success on many different horses, most all of whom
she trained herself. In
1988 Phyllis represented the United States in the Olympic Games in
Seoul, Korea, riding Albany II, finishing tenth overall, the best
of the Americans Eventers. She
also rode for the United States Equestrian Team in 1997,
successfully competing Snowy River in the Open European
Championships at Burghley, England. With the help of her mother
Grace, Phyllis founded Windchase in 1986, and has built it into
the lovely Eventing and Boarding facility it is today.
Trainer Molly Kinnamon is an accomplished
Advanced Level competitor and successful Eventing coach. She
trains and teaches many of the Windchase horses and riders.
Whether schooling one of the youngsters, supervising the running
of the barn, training the sale horses, or coaching Windchase
students, Molly keeps her schedule busy and accomplishes a huge
amount every day.

"Windchase is located in a beautiful little
valley beside the Blue Ridge, known locally as 'Between
the Hills.' There
is something special about this particular spot on the
earth, something peaceful, almost magical.
Horses are happy at Windchase, and people are too.
There is not a day that goes by that I don't ride
around the farm and think how lucky I am to be here.
I invite you to come out and join us, and
experience a bit of the Windchase Magic."
