Phyllis Dawson found her first pony under the Christmas tree at age 4, and it’s been all horses, all the time, ever since. She made her international debut at the Boekelo CCI*** in the Netherlands in 1985, where she participated on the winning U.S. team in the “friendly team competition” on Mountain High. She rode on the eventing team at the 1988 Olympic Games in Seoul, Korea, and finished 10th, as the highest-placed U.S. rider aboard Albany II. She’s ridden around the Rolex Kentucky Three-Day Event more than 20 times and has also completed the Burghley CCI**** (England) several times.
