Marika Groleau

Marika is 15 years old and has been riding since she was 5 years old. Since August of 2003 she has been concentrating on dressage. In 2003 and 2004 she very successfully competed on Sadie, a leased Thoroughbred mare, at Training and First Level with scores in the high 60’s and low 70’s. Due to an injury of Sadie in April of 2004 the two were not able to compete at the 2004 CDS Junior Championships, however, Marika’s parents bought her a well-trained horse at the end of the 2004 summer. His name is Tundra, a 12 year old Swedish Warmblood gelding who has shown through Intermediare 1. Marika has been practicing second and third level movements with him. Unfortunately, Tundra injured his suspensory in October of 2004, but has recovered well and Marika will show him at the 2005 CDS Junior Championships as part of the Berry Hill Farms First Level Team.
