Horses
Tigris was retired from her competing days with
me and I turned over the reins to long time friend
and client, Mary Houghton. Mary also received
her Silver Medal and was one score short of
getting her Gold at the time of Tigris's passing. I
cherish her more now as I look back at how much
she taught me. I was so busy absorbing it in, I
forgot to enjoy it. I love this mare and hope to
one day be reunited again with her.
For I am sure if there is a horsey heaven, Ti is
there running among all of the other horses that
we love and cherish so very much.
Tigris took me to two National Junior Young Riders. In fact, in
1997 we were the first Gold medal team in the competitions first
year of running. We placed 3rd Individually and I was the
youngest rider by two years, being only fourteen. In 1998, we
received the Team Silver and placed 4th in individual standings.
This bay mare, only 15'1 hands tall, partnered with me to the
Grand Prix Level when I was 15. With only two years of  FEI under
my belt, Ti and I won Region 6 USDF/ABIC  & Northwest I-2 and
Grand Prix two years in a row. Our averages were 67% at I-2 & 65%
at Grand Prix. Our scores were high enough to be in the Top Ten
I-2 and Top 15 Grand Prix for the USDF Horse of the Year
standings. The first two times out at Grand Prix, we obtained the
scores needed to receive my USDF Gold Medal. This little mare
helped me obtain my first "9"s, all at he Grand Prix level under
several different judges. Her pirouettes, piaffe, and passage were
better then average for any horse, not just a Quarter Horse. This
special mare acquainted me with some of the most influential
instructors of my riding career, including Conrad Schumacher,
who found Ti to be much more then a school master, but a horse
that was making me into a true competitor.
Thank You Ti!
Tigris was my first FEI horse. I received my USDF  
Bronze,Silver and Gold medals on this remarkable
Quarter Horse mare. I was twelve years old when my
parents purchased "Ti" for me. She was already  
schooling the FEI work, but we started out at
Training Level. When we progressed to First & Second
Level, poor Tigris allowed  me balance on the reins to
find my seat and learn to sit the trot. She was always
honest and never wrong. Ti quickly schooled me up
to her level of training. I rode my first FEI test at the
age of fourteen, receiving a 62% from the late Trip
Harting. I rode the test Hol Concour due to the fact
that I had not ridden with spurs yet.

The first time I set eyes on Intrepid, he was out in a
pasture and had a mane that  hung a foot long and a
tail that drug on the ground. I made an agreement
with his previous owner, who had gotten out of horses,
that I would take him for a two week trial.
From there, our story begins.
Intrepid maintained an average of 70.95% at Prix St.
Georges. This average was maintained consistently the
three years (2002-2004) we showed on the Region 6
Young Rider team. Intrepid and I were the number one
horse/rider for Region 6 all three years we participated
coming into NAYRC (North American Young Rider
Championships). In 2002, Intrepid and I won the
Individual Bronze Medal at NAYRC, along with the
Team Bronze. Intrepid received three "9's" at this
National event on his extended trot. All three from
separate "O" Judges.
Way to go Treppy!
After Young Riders, Treppy and I moved on to the I-1 level.  
Although, challenges followed our consistent success.
Moving to the Grand Prix did not come without its
struggles...or opinions. With our scores being really high and
then being eliminated for Intrepid's class clown acts, it was
time for us to go back to school. With a year in constant
training with our mentor,  Roxanne Christenson, we
re-emerged into the show ring with success. In 2008, Intrepid
and I qualified and competed with the Olympic Qualifiers in
San Juan Capistrano, CA. We placed third, which was an over
achieved goal. To end the 2008 show season, we were the
ABIC and Northwest Grand Prix Champions for Region 6. In
2009, we were Region 6 Champion Grand Prix Freestyle and
Reserve Champion Grand Prix.
Starting in 2010, Intrepid will be leased and shown by Jesika
and continue his show career in the JR/YY division.
The first time I ever saw Quickie, I thought he
would make an excellent Dressage horse!
Owner's and good friends Kyle and Heidi Kellem,
owned the barn that I was training out of.  They
had purchased him to be their next western
mount, but they were wrong. I saw Quickie daily
in his stall and he was always so friendly. I was
very smitten with this chromed stallion.
Since I was already riding  Khemo Khadet, their
other stallion, they were familiar with my
riding.  When it came time for Quickie to be
broke, they asked me. I knew then that he would
not be a western prospect anymore! They told
me they wanted him to have a good start with
dressage basics, and it blossomed from there.
When I sat on Quickie, it was like he was already
trained. We were off the lunge line within 15 minutes the
first time I mounted him doing walk, trot, and canter.
He made his horse show debut 30 days later at Sport
Horse Nationals and came in third.  He is always a good
boy and is the kindest horse I have in my training
program. My three year old daughter, Reece, rides him
and can lead him around. He lowers his head so she can
hug him and feed him treats. Quickie is truly not aware
that he is a breeding stallion and I love him for his
gentleness.  He is also a true ambassador for the Arabian
breed and has been praised by some of the best
horsemen. One of which was Conrad Schumacher, who
said all of his gaits were "spectacular".  This young
stallion is going to be a 'rising star' in the open Dressage
show circuit and already is a Unanimous National  
Champion in the Arabian world. This is the type of horse
that makes you want to go to work everyday.  He is my
little 'boyfriend' and I absolutely adore him.
Avalon was purchased for me in 2001. He was a
real project from the start. My mom and I fell in
love with him watching his sale video we received
from the late Carol Plough. He was in a field when
we looked at him, but he met all of our standards.
He was also so pretty to top it off! With his pure
white coat, my daughter calls him a unicorn!  Our
first year out at the Junior level (4th), we qualified
to show back east in Gladstone, along with the
Festival of Champions. Even though I showed
Avalon through the PSG level, he unfortunately
had a hard time staying physically sound with the
high demands of the FEI work. He now is a lesson
horse at our facility and maintains his round
physic and thick white tail! Avalon is a character
and is loved by the whole Anderson family. He will
be adored by us for the rest of his days.
Gaby was brought to me to be in training in 2003. She
had been bred and raised at the late Fox Ridge Farm
and owner Kaylene Brown wanted her to be
completed. This mare is the most difficult that I have
ridden. To say she is hot and sensitive is an
understatement. She is also very beautiful and
talented. When it came to the point that Kaylene
wanted to sell her, my parents and sister Beth
partnered up to purchase her as a Dressage horse. Beth
and Gaby have been on a successful rise and I look
forward to watching them compete. My sister rides her
so beautifully,  and I am so proud of them both!
Pia is owned by Laureen Wilkerson and is ridden by
her daughter, Cristy. Pia is a imported Dutch mare.
She is trained through the PSG level with Laureen and
Cristy, and under the training & instruction of myself.  
 Go Cristy and Pia!
Kheno was brought to me for training by his
owner, Raeven Sampson. He had been a western
horse and really was looking for job to keep him
busy. Kheno was the first stallion I had in
training, right out high school. In fact, he was one
of  the first horses in my training career. We were
Region 5 Reserve Champion at Training Level and
he was shown in my program through 3rd Level.  
He had a beautiful head and a comical disposition.
He was very smart and would remember
everything he was taught, not liking to make any
mistakes. Kheno is now retired to being a breeding
stallion, what a life indeed!
Tesar is a imported Dutch
mare owned by long time
client Melissa Zanieb. She is
ridden by her mom and was
Champion of her Dutch
inspection! Way to go Tesar.
In foal to Quick Silver Bey
for 2010. We can't wait!

Rudy is owned by Lyn Anderson and Megann
(Anderson) Prater. Rudy was bought as Megann's
Hunter Equitation horse and was a successful Eq.
Medal horse on the East coast. Imported as a
hunter in his early years, he was put on pasture
rest due to arthritis. Rudy then proved to have a
second wind after five years of retirement. He
proved this to us by exercising all the young
horses in the field and terrorizing the brood
mares! So, I brought him back into work in Nov. of
2008 at the "youthful" age of 23. Rudy has never
taken a lame step and loves all the new-found
attention and is teaching several people the basics
of Dressage.

In 2009, Rudy has been in the top three placing's  
with Cameron Amos aboard and received High
Point JR/YR both days at the Summervale
Dressage Show in August. Rudy is one of the most
valuable horses in my program and I am so
fortunate to have him.
Khadet is a super star!  Being a retired Regional
Western Champion, Dressage was something that I
knew would come easy to him.  Since then, he has
won everything going up the levels and is the
quickest study I have ever ridden! He loves to work
and I always tell people that he is my little war horse!
Khadet started his Dressage training in 2004 and has
competed Training Level to Intermediare 1. Although
he is schooled through most of the Grand Prix, his
owner Heidi Kellem used him to teach her a few
things about the Dressage ring. Khadet was officially
retired after his 2008 show season.
Khadet is a horse that I will be forever
grateful to have had in my training
program.  He works everyday for his
rider, 100%. Khadet is now a 10 time
AHA Regional Champion with wins in  
Training Level, Second Level, Fourth
Level, Prix St. Georges & Show Hack .  He
is also a USDF Region 6 Champion in
Freestyle I-1 and Reserve Champion I-1,
3 time Sport Horse Reserve National
Champion, and of course what started
him being a Champion,  two time
Western Pleasure AAOTR Champion.
Khydd is the ultimate Half Arabian
and really rises to every expectation
that comes his way.  In 2008, with 15
rides under saddle, he competed at
Region 4 Sport Horse Championships
and was a star. At only four years
old, he placed first out of 16 horses in
his first training level class, with a
67%! With moves like his dad Khadet,
he really has no limitations.
I cant wait to see him pack around
Miss Avery Layne!
'Kisses' is owned by Shark Sport Horses.
She is a 2007 Half Arabian Buckskin
Pinto Filly. Beautiful mare with tons of
talent. Ready to start. Currently offered
for sale.
I am proud to announce that
long time friends Kyle and Heidi
Kellem and I have collaborated
on the ownership on Quickie! I
am very excited that this has
occurred, especially since
Quickie is my next FEI horse. I
love this horse and know that this
an opportunity that will keep on
giving. This choice was not only
an emotional decision, but a wise
one as well. I love his diversity
and alertness to the work. I can't
wait to see what the future holds
for us and I am proud to be a half
partner in Team QSB.
Elliot is an 2001 Swedish warmblood gelding.
Elliot is one of our "Four Sisters Farm" home bred
ponies. He is a very special horse to me. Elliot is
one of the first horses I broke myself and he was
put on pasture rest when I was pregnant with my
daughter, Reece. He is a little bit of a spoiled
"only" child, but I love him for it and have to
admit, I am a little guilty for creating it! He is
quite the little talent and will make his show
debut in 2010.

Here is a legend...well in the making before I had the blessing
to be a part of his career, affectionately called "Rolo".
Rolo is a 10 time National Champion or Reserve National
Champion in Western, Hunter, Trail & Dressage.  Rolo's
owner, Carrie Olson, has owned him since he was three years
old. She has been apart of all his successes from the
beginning, what an accomplishment! Rolo has showed
competitively through 2nd level and has been Scottsdale
Champion. This is one of the biggest honors for Arabian
competitors, way to go Rolo.

Carrie audited the Conrad Schumacher Symposium and saw
me ride Intrepid and Quickie and we met after the closing
performance there. Ever since then, she has been a wonderful
addition to Lindsey Anderson Dressage and we adore her as
much as Mr.Rolo. We look forward to seeing what the future
holds, as we are in the process of finding a new mount for her!
Cindy is a 1993 Imported Palomino Wesphalian
Riding pony with a lot of  "chrome". She is like
riding in a fancy little "sports car".  Rosie, proud
mom and owner of my training facility, is a
dedicated student and one of my first. At eighteen
years of age, I found Cindy and the below pony,
Costa for Rosie. This pony is very special and puts in
her best effort, everyday. Cindy is schooling all the
I-1 movements, but the goal will be showing with
Rosie aboard at 4th and PSG in 2010.
Costa is a 1995 Imported bay Hanoverian. Costa is a
sweetie and is made to trot! He is like the puppy dog
in the  barn, and we love him for it. It is not
uncommon for both ponies to announce that Rosie
has arrived at the barn by "whinnying" with joy!
Costa is schooling all the PSG movements and the
goal is for Rosie to show him 3rd and 4th in 2010.
Natalie Perry is a very talented rider and trainer. She
worked as my assistant from 2003 and 2004 in which
time and we helped obtain her goal of going  to NAYRC.
I want to wish her all the best as she steps out, and
begins her new training business.
"Livi" is an imported 11
year old Hanoverian
gelding that is schooled
through 3rd level. We
look forward to what
the future holds for him
and we think he is
really special!
