Liz Denny Establishes New Show Barn

    /24-7PressRelease/ - SANTA MONICA, CA, November 08, 2007 - Liz Denny, well-known competitor on the West Coast Grand Prix show circuit, proudly announced today that she has established her own training and show barn, Liz Denny Show Stable, LLC, at the newly opened Spirit Equestrian in Somis, California. Denny brings an impressive 30 years of experience as a rider, instructor and top Grand Prix competitor.

Training and teaching since 1980 at the legendary Flintridge Riding Club, Denny was part of the staff of renowned professionals Jimmy Williams and Susan Hutchison. For the past 11 years, she managed her own hunter/jumper training business at the private club where she achieved much success both as a rider and trainer.

"Spirit Equestrian is pleased to welcome Liz Denny Show Stable as our "A" circuit hunter/jumper show barn," said Marie Knowles, owner of Spirit Equestrian and one of Denny's dedicated amateur clients. "Liz is the model of professionalism. Her carefully organized program encompasses thoughtful horse care with custom-tailored training for each horse and rider. Liz always gives the very best of herself to her horses and students."

Nestled among beautiful avocado and lemon groves in Ventura County's Somis, California, Spirit Equestrian is Southern California's premier equestrian center. The newly renovated facility boasts several state-of-the-art amenities including over 100,000 square feet of new jumper arenas with excellent footing, several large grass paddocks and turnouts, spacious stalls with comfort mats, a European hot walker and 24-hour security and emergency care. Ocean breezes and beautifully landscaped grounds provide a welcome respite for both horse and rider.

Denny describes the recent move as a perfect fit for her growing business and personal riding goals. "Spirit is truly a one of a kind facility built with excellent horse care in mind," says Denny. "Moving to Spirit Equestrian enables me to continue an active training program geared toward top competition in the jumper, equitation, hunter and Grand Prix arenas."

Originally from Greenwich, Connecticut, Denny moved to Southern California with her parents at age 10. During her junior years, under the guidance of respected trainer, Joe Lifto, she filled the barn with tri-colors from her wins in the hunter, jumper and equitation divisions. She quickly made a name for herself as she moved up to the Grand Prix ranks and was named PCHA Reserve Rookie Grand Prix Rider of the Year in 1991. Denny has had numerous placings at all of the top West Coast Grand Prix venues including wins at the Memorial Day Classic Grand Prix in 1992 and at the Los Angeles National World Cup Qualifying Grand Prix in 2002.

Denny is especially proud of the many accomplishments of her students, including high placings in the ASPCA Maclay National Finals and AHSA (USEF) National Medal Finals, both held on the East Coast. On the West Coast, her riders have successfully competed in the USET Talent Search, WCE and Foxfield Medal Finals. Her junior and amateur students continue to enjoy championship ribbons in everything from the Short Stirrup division to the advanced jumpers.

For the 2008 show season, Denny plans to continue her winning ways as both a teacher and Grand Prix competitor. Her relatively young Grand Prix mount, MMC Electrifying, owned by MMC Electric Investments, LLC, posted impressive results in 2007 and hopes are high for the Holsteiner gelding in 2008.

Liz Denny Show Stable is currently welcoming dedicated riders and competitive horses to join their exceptional training and "A" circuit horse show program.
