About Lendon:

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 just 14.2 Seldom Seen was a national champion at 3rd, 4th level, Prix St. George's, Intermediare I and II, and Grand Prix.

Although Lendon competed with 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 that bigger isn't necessarily better.

This experience also gave Lendon direction to encourage those without the fanciest horses, trainers, or 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, USEF and the 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.
