Our Musical Dressage horse is WHIZ BANG, ridden by Heather Caudill. WHIZ BANG competes in United States Dressage Federation recognized shows, and have achieved what many used to think was impossible.
WHIZ BANG is a 16.1, bay mare, owned by Tina Bombardo of Fruitland Park, Florida, and trained by Heather Caudill, of Wildwood, Fl. In 2007, WHIZ BANG became the first Standardbred in history, to be recognized for her dressage accomplishments by the United States Dressage Federation. She was the USDF All-Breed Award Champion at Training Level. In 2008, her trainer/rider guided WHIZ BANG to yet another medal… this time they were the USDF All-Breed Award Champions at First Level. Musical Freestyles were successfully introduced into the mare’s training in March of 2009, resulting in qualifying and competing at the Regional Championship. WHIZ BANG was the 2009 USDF All-Breed Award Reserve Champion in First Level Musical Freestyles. In 2010 WHIZ BANG has earned the necessary qualifying scores for Second Level Musical Freestyle, and she will be competing at the 2010 Region Three Dressage Championship, held October 15-17 in Conyers, Georgia.
WHIZ BANG has a saucy and sometimes fractious temperament, which causes days filled with both laughter and tears, but there is one thing Whiz Bang never is, and that is boring! Heather has taken WHIZ’s energy and channeled it into a positive framework.
