Phillip Dutton’s stunning sterling mount, Azure, is coming back into work after the Maryland 5 Star and look who’s in the irons! Daughter Olivia was lucky enough to land a lesson with dad aboard the Moran family’s 11-year-old Irish Sport Horse mare (Omar – Cavalier Roselier, by Cavalier Royale) and we can learn a thing or two from this snippit of their flatwork lesson.
Bred and produced by Irish eventer Elizabeth Power, Azure is relatively new ride for Phillip having been brought Stateside at the start of the 2022 season. Phillip has said the mare is uber-keen and forward across the country and his goal as they progress their partnership is to channel that eagerness into their dressage. Watch as he coaches Olivia on how to start off on the right foot for a flat ride!
