DEMO RIDER<br />
SHANNON DUECK<br />
turned to international dressage competition after riding<br />
for years in Three-Day Eventing and at the Thoroughbred<br />
racetrack at her home base of Vancouver, Canada. In<br />
1999, she and Korona won the individual silver medal at<br />
the Pan American Games, and since then she has successfully<br />
represented Canada with numerous self-trained<br />
horses, including at the World Equestrian Games and the<br />
World Cup. A Pony Club alumni and an Equestrian<br />
Canada certified coach, Shannon has a M.S. in Equine<br />
Nutrition from Texas A&M University and has been a key<br />
Equine Science faculty member at Olds College and<br />
Johnson and Wales University. Shannon is currently the<br />
team trainer for the Colombian Dressage Team, leading<br />
them to the 2019 Pan Am Games in Lima, the World<br />
Championships, and the Bolivarian Games in <strong>2022</strong>.<br />
Coaching at the Tokyo Paralympic Games in 2021 was<br />
also a highlight, with her student finishing top six in the<br />
Para 3 Category. Shannon along with her husband Lorne<br />
operate Dueck Dressage in Loxahatchee, Florida, where<br />
she runs a training/lesson and clinic <strong>program</strong> for serious<br />
dressage enthusiasts of all levels.<br />
In 2011, Shannon spent six months with Carl Hester in<br />
Great Britain with her International Grand Prix mare<br />
Ayscha. Angelika, by Fanziskus, is Ayscha’s only foal.<br />
She made her competitive debut at Global Dressage<br />
where she garnered scores up to 80% in 3rd and 4th<br />
level. In March, she started in PSG in the International<br />
Stadium, and won a large CDI* PSG the day before her<br />
7th birthday. She finished the season with a 3rd place<br />
finish in the hugely competitive Summit Young Horse<br />
PSG Championships. She has currently shown to Intermediate<br />
1 with scores over 73%, and is starting to school<br />
the Grand Prix. n<br />
