In 2022, the long-time team of Lynn Palm and Marie-Frances Davis joined forces to promote the growth of Western Dressage among American Quarter Horse enthusiasts by providing a welcoming environment through competition and education for newcomers as well as current participants.
With the expertise of Lynn Palm as an AQHA Judge, USEF Western Dressage R Judge, World Champion Competitor and international clinician and Marie-Frances Davis, AQHA Show Manager, WDAA World Champion and Horse of the Year Champion, the two bring a unique set of skills to the Winning Ways Showing and Growing experience.
Each Showing and Growing Winning Ways weekend consists of a Saturday AQHA/WDAA Western Dressage Show judged by Palm followed by 2 or 3 days of instruction for riders, instructors and coaches seeking to improve their western dressage skills. The events are open to all breeds and levels of riders new to the sport or currently training and competing.
After two successful events in its inaugural year, the team has taken on an ambitious lineup of six events in five different states and Italy. Beginning in Natural Bridge, VA, in June and finishing in Burleson, TX, in September, the Winning Ways events will be in Cochranville, PA, Siena, Italy, New Richmond, WI, and Ostrader, OH in between those dates.
