Currently, Leslie is riding with International French Dressage Coach, Christophe Thaellet. Leslie plans to have her personal horse, Apollinaire, qualified for Gladstone in 2011 as well as showing at the FEI Grand Prix level. The dressage building blocks are never complete and can always be built upon on a daily basis. Leslie continues to build on her dressage skills every day and looks forward to learning from other skilled riders and trainers.
Look for Leslie on Miss Pamela doing Dressage Demonstrations in conjunction with the Irish Village at the World Equestrian Games. 
Fleur Bryan was born and raised in the middle of Ireland just 20 miles from the famous Curragh racecourse home of the Irish Derby. Having began riding at the tender age of 2, Fleur quickly developed a passion for and talent with young horses. After graduating from secondary school, Fleur moved to Daffodil Lodge Stud where she trained under the watchful eye of legendary Irish showjumping rider/trainer Iris Kellett, and she began training for her British Horse society certification. 
After leaving Kelletts, Fleur worked with show hunter horses in Connemara, and event horses in Waterford, before taking a position with International Dressage Judge and Trainer Gisela Holstien. The experience at Holstein's was vast, as all 3 major disciplines were covered in the barn. Fleur had the pleasure of working with Gisela's Olympic Dressage rider daughter, Heike, and showjumper son, Eric, who in the late 1990's held a top 10 spot in the world rankings. 
Fleur co-owned and mananged Barrowside Stud with her Brother in Ireland for 9 years prior to moving to the U.S. in 2002. There they bred, trained, competed, and sold both showjumpers and event horses, and trained riders. Fleur now co-owns and runs Parkmore Stud, with her partner, Debbie, in the beautiful Blugrass state of Kentucky, where she stood Parkmore Pride, Registered Irish Draught Stallion, and has continued the careful production and training of Irish horses and other breeds. A specialist in English training, Fleur prides herself on her ability to bond with youngsters and turn out horses suitible to be ridden in any discipline by any level of rider. 
Fleur is the founder of the Irish Village at the World Equestrian Games and will be performing demonstrations on Buddy Satterly and Benmar Bella Blue.
Debbie Fullilove grew up just outside of London in England. As soon as she was old enough to venture out on her bicycle, she located the nearest horses to visit and feed carrots to. Soon, she saved her pocket money and for 50 pence was allowed to ride the horses bareback around the fields. At the age of 10 she had convinced her parents that instead of a family vacation, she and her older sister should take riding lessons at the local riding stables. As they say...'that was all she wrote'......After weekends of she and her sister working 24 hours for a 15-minute bareback ride, her parents sacrificed any further vacations and building a garage for the house, and purchased 'Willard,' a wonderful Connemara pony, from Mr. John Window of Mount Mascal Stables in Bexley Kent. 
Up until she left England at the age of 36, Mount Mascal Stables was Debbie's second home. She was a member of North West Kent Pony Club and Joydens Riding Club, actively competing in show jumping and cross country events as well as hunting with North West Kent and Ashford Vallley Hunts. Thanks to John Window, Debbie also experienced the thrill of Point to Point racing. As Willard, grew older, Debbie purchased a couple of unbroken TB fillies at Ascot bloodstock sales. At this point an Irish Draught was financially 'out of reach.' Knowing her love for Irish horses, especially greys, John found 'Piglet', a 2-year-old Irish Draught Sport Horse filly, and brought her home, knowing that Debbie would not be able to resist her. He was right. Piglet had an unfortunate accident as a 4-year-old and suffered a fracture of the cannon bone. The long road to recovery led to a discovery of dressage and eventually eventing. 
When Debbie's company transferred her to Houston, Texas in 1997, Piglet stayed in England. Eventually, Debbie had to decide - return to England or bring Piglet to Texas. After Piglet arrived, Debbie decided that if she was ever to realize her dream of having a 'horse property,' this was the place to do it. In 1999 she purchased a little house in the middle of 7 acres and named it Deanfield Farm. Her Christmas present that year was a breeding to 'Irish Rover RID', but after numerous attempts, Piglet never had a foal. Piglet is now the most popular horse in Pony Club and is on her third child as the perfect school mistress. 
As Piglet never produced a foal, Debbie was still dreaming of her Irish Draught. When she heard about the colt 'Braveheart' in New Hampshire, she was drawn to his bloodlines and his movement. Again, he was financially 'out of reach,' but something kept drawing her back to him. Many months and negotiations later, he was on his way to Texas. As a yearling Braveheart had a playmate, Annie the mule; they are both now 10 years old and remain best friends. Braveheart has led the most 'natural' life as possible as a stallion. He lives with his 'mare' and can closely watch over his other mares and babies. 
Braveheart is by O'Leary's Irish Diamond RID and is the only male offspring of Kilbline RID, the most 'decorated' mare in North America. Like his sire, Braveheart's bloodlines indicate he would be a phenomenal showjumper and dressage horse, but he has been eventing at the lower levels for the past few years. Debbie fits in training and competing whenever her work schedule allows, as well as maintianing the now expanded Deanfield Farm. 
Braveheart has hunted and his wonderful temperament has allowed for him to give pony rides for all at the farm. One notable fact is that he has great Irish feet and has always been barefoot. As a testament to Braveheart’s offspring, Doug Willard from Industry, Texas, said of his filly, ‘You’d wear the tires off your truck trying to find nicer one.' 
As far as Braveheart knows, all his ex’s do live in Texas, but he also has offspring in Virginia, Illinois, Washington, Louisiana and Pennsylvania. He is extremely fertile and is a very popular boy at Texas A&M University where he goes for his collection. He has successfully bred every mare, either fresh or frozen semen, or his favorite, live cover. Frozen semen has been exported to Australia and is available for the coming season. 
Braveheart - the Irish horse with the Scottish name, owned by the English lady living her dream in Texas. Watch for Debbie and Braveheart performing demonstrations in eventing, jumping, and dressage in conjunction with the Irish Village at the World Equestrian Games.

Leslie and Miss Pamela rode in a clinic with Dutch Grand Prix rider and trainer, Ron Smeets. Ron Smeets started his riding career training with Sjef Janssen (trainer of Anky van Grusven, who is currently training the Dutch Dressage Team). He spent his early career showing for Holland in many different international competitions. Ron worked with Leslie on creating more movement from behind through a true shoulder-in, spiraling trot circles and being connected with both the inside and outside reins.
Miss Pamela continues to strengthen and progress in her dressage training on a daily basis. Her owner, Moira, she thought should be sure that she was used to all the “strange sounds” she might encounter at WEG. She purchased a “Spookless” CD from Clinton Anderson’s Down Under Horsemanship and played the CD for Miss Pamela, her sister and mom…..It blew their minds!!!! Hopefully, no one brings any pigs to WEG’s Equine Village to see the demonstrations …. Miss Pamela might turn and run right out of the park!
