Brentina was one of the greats in dressage; a powerful, graceful, beautiful coppery chestnut mare with a sweet face and a big heart. She had incredible natural talent and she achieved dressage greatness with the wonderful Debbie McDonald on her back. Their harmonious performances delighted and awed so many.

What a team. Check out this video of them in action:



Thank you, Brentina. Enjoy your retirement! I wish you happiness and lots of sweet treats.
