Long Lake, MN – February 19, 2025 – Leatherdale Farms’ 2019 Hanoverian mare Duett continues training in Wellington, Florida with Canadian Grand Prix rider Vanessa Creech-Terauds.
The 6-year-old mare by Damsey FRH and from dam SPS Helena was bred in Europe by Leatherdale Farms Germany and has been partnered with Creech-Terauds and her mother and trainer, Dianne Creech, to be developed.
Creech-Terauds and Duett claimed The Reserve Champion title in the 4-year-old Division at Dressage at Devon in 2023 and scored high marks in their 5-year-old tests at The Adequan Global Dressage Festival last year.
