Trainer Returns from Germany, Partners with USA Breeder to Qualify for USDF Championship

Congratulations to Milym Equestrian’s Head Trainer Miriam Offermanns for qualifying for the United States Dressage Federation Regional Championships with USA bred sale horse, Haute Couture.

After spending 4 years training and competing with top horses in Germany and attaining her International Trainer Certification, we are excited to see Offermanns is back on the Dressage Show Circuit stateside. She is not only competing and training horses for breeders but is also running Milym Equestrian, a comprehensive training and sales facility out of Alpharetta, Georgia.

An integral part of Milym Equestrian’s growing success is her recent partnership with Huck’s Hill Farm, led by Marcia Boeing of Camden, SC. Well established as a top Hanoverian breeder in the Southeast, Offermanns has the distinct pleasure of training, competing and offering Huck’s Hill Farms young warmbloods for sale to new homes.

One of Boeing’s horses, a 2011 Hotline x Waterford mare named “Haute Couture” and affectionately known as “Coco” around the barn, immediately stood out to Offermanns as a top dressage prospect.

“It is rare to find a horse that possesses all of the attributes we hope for in a competition horse but Coco possesses not only ride-ability and trainability, but also the willingness and work ethic to try harder every day. She is simply exceptional and it is an honor to develop her,” commented Offermanns.

After only 6-weeks of dressage training, Offermanns trailered Haute Couture to a clinic with Scott Hassler, our recent USEF Young Horse Dressage Coach. The 5-yo mare completed the clinic like a seasoned professional and a cautiously optimistic Offermanns decided to take her chances and sign the young mare up for her first USDF show a few weeks later at Chattahoochee Hills Farm in Fairburn, Georgia.

The beautiful, dark bay mare lived up to every one of Offermanns’ expectations – beating out seasoned schoolmasters and winning all 4 of her classes, as well as the High Score of the entire show. This increasingly impressive pair had solid 8s and 8.5s on their score sheets and qualified for the USDF Regional Championships as well as the Breeder’s Championships at Devon with a spectacular 75.7% in their Materiale Class.

“Coco surpassed our expectations for her very first show. We could not have been more proud and excited,” said Offermanns.

Milym Equestrian would like to thank Huck’s Hill Farm and Marcia Boeing for the opportunity to develop her talented young sale horse. And thank you to the Milym Equestrian sponsors, Fits Riding and Voltaire Design, for continuing to support our team.
