Hi! I am Melanie Werst and I am one of the original members of Southwest Fl Dressage Association, showing traditional dressage for many years with my Arab, Teddy Bear, and Dazzle my quarter horse. 

I started western Dressage in 2021, riding my German Riding Pony, Duke.  We have earned our bronze medal from WDAFL and a World Championship in 2022 at Level 1 Freestyle.

I recently completed the USEF competition management course. And I am a co-director of dressage at the Punta Gorda Horseman Assoc. shows.
