In 1997, Cyril and Lynn Pittion-Rossillon along with Walter and Heidi Burkhalter had a vision for the future development of Fox Grove Farm in Ocala, FL. Fast forward 25 years and every dream, wish, goal and then some, has been realized. Fox Grove Farm became a place where passions for horses and riding were ignited, lifelong relationships flourished and charmed visits were forever embossed on hearts. For this, Cyril, Lynn and Marie-Frances will be forever grateful to all who contributed to the appreciable success of Fox Grove.
With the sale of Fox Grove Farm, Palm Equestrian Academy embarks on its next chapter. Cyril, Lynn and Marie-Frances look ahead as they combine their interests in teaching, coaching, judging, writing, event production and travel. With their current as well as future projects, they will continue to make their mark on the equestrian world with clinics, teaching tours, European Journeys and Winning Ways with Western Dressage.
By streamlining business plans, the trio is allowed flexibility to travel for new ventures. This year alone Lynn will judge in VA, PA, FL, WI and WA plus conduct clinics in FL, CO, OH, WI, TX and Italy. Cyril’s teaching tours will take him throughout FL, PA, NJ, WI, MI, MN and NE. European Journeys will land them in Ireland and two locations in France this fall. Marie-Frances and Lynn will produce Winning Ways with Western Dressage in FL, WI and Italy in addition to Dressage and Western Dressage competitions in Oklahoma.
Palm Equestrian Academy headquarters will remain in Ocala with a satellite location in Sarasota, FL. Updated information on events will be shared at LynnPalm.com as well as through social outlets.
