With the expertise of Lynn Palm as judge, instructor and coach along with partner Marie-Frances Davis’ background in event management, the pair continues their Winning Ways with Western Dressage into 2025.
Beginning in 2022 with two locations, the first ever of its kind competitive and educational event, has blossomed into eleven locations, four of which are first time destinations. Each Showing and Growing Winning Ways weekend consists of a an AQHA/WDAA Western Dressage Show judged by Palm followed by one to three 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.
The team was thrilled with the success of the 2024 winning weekends. With 232 tests ridden in over 5 Levels on over 20 breeds from 18 states and multiple regions in Italy, riders earned 218.5 AQHA points and an average score of 67.92% while nearly 100 riders trained in the Grow Your Scores and Grow Your Skills clinics.
As Palm Equestrian Academy embarks on its 55th anniversary in 2025, Lynn continues to give back to the industry through education with Winning Ways with Western Dressage being at the forefront. She welcomes all to join the events in the coming year.
