Jaclyn Pepper Dressage

Grateful doesn’t even begin to describe it! The opportunity of a lifetime with my most special girl. Thank you to The Dressage Foundation , my amazing coaches VB Dressage and Knoll Dressage for all you do for us! We are so excited to see what the 2027 season has in store for us!

The Dressage Foundation Announces 2026 Recipient of the $25,000 Debbie McDonald Fund for FEI Riders Grant🎉

Congratulations to Jaclyn Pepper-Millard (CA) and Limited Edition as the 2026 recipients of the $25,000 Debbie McDonald Fund for FEI Riders grant!

Jaclyn is a USDF bronze, silver, and gold medalist with distinction, as well as a volunteer member of the California Dressage Society Executive Board. She plans to use the grant funding to spend the 2027 winter season in Florida, training with Anne Gribbons and competing in Grand Prix CDI competitions. Limited Edition (Ellie) is a 10-year-old Dutch Warmblood mare, bred in the U.S. by Gwen Blake.

Jaclyn said, “Thank you will truly never be enough. Receiving this grant is a life-changing experience, as the financial help that this will give us allows me to chase my childhood dreams. Ellie and I are so excited to be heading to Florida for the winter season! To have an extensive training period with Anne Gribbons is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, as well as to pursue competing in the CDI circuit in Florida.”

The Debbie McDonald Fund provides funding for high-level training to horse and rider pairs who are training at Prix St. Georges or higher, who show potential to succeed at FEI Levels, and who may not otherwise have the opportunity for the training. The Debbie McDonald Fund previously provided $10,000 grants to Pacific Northwest FEI Riders. Thanks to the generosity of Pamela S. Jones and the Jones Family Foundation—Malama Honua, the Fund expanded to be a nationwide grant and increased in amount in 2023.

At Jaclyn Pepper Dressage, we believe great training starts long before you get in the saddle. ✨

We look at the whole horse—because every horse is an individual. Meeting their nutritional needs, supporting their physical and mental well-being, and building a strong foundation all play a huge role in their success.

When horses feel their best, they can perform their best. Happy, healthy horses are more willing, more comfortable, and learning becomes so much easier. That’s why nutrition and overall wellness are just as important to us as the work we do in the arena.

Key ingredients you will find in our feed room include Nupafeed USA 🐴 , platinumperformance , and Triple Crown Nutrition —brands we trust to help our horses receive the nutrition they need to thrive. Their commitment to equine health allows us to focus on what we love most: developing happy, healthy athletes from the inside out.

A healthy horse is a happy horse, and happy, healthy horses make training easy. 💚🐴

So proud of this little guy 🥹 Ollie has definitely found his calling in life and I am just so thrilled to see him thriving with Berg Equestrian ! This handsome dude will be offered for sale to a 5* home soon. The future is bright for this kiddo 🖤

Wishing everyone competing at NAYC the best of luck this week! Enjoy every moment of it! Competing a NAYC is still to this day some of my favorite memories. It is truly a life-changing experience. Missing my big guy Taboo so much these days ❤️
