Pam Grace is a professional dressage exhibitor, horse trainer, clinician, and “L” dressage judge. In her lifetime with horses, Grace has ridden several disciplines, including barrel racing, reining, polo, and race horses, but “dancing” with horses is where she excels. Grace is a 5 time ABIG Grand Prix Champion and USDF Gold Medalist with numerous wins in the dressage ring, including 87 USDF All Breed Championships and countless ABIC, GAIG and Southwest Dressage Championships. Grace’s latest endeavor is the relatively new discipline of Western dressage, the melding of Classical dressage and Western horsemanship, with her Dutch Warmblood, Star in Stripes.Recognizing the need for a specialized saddle in the Western dressage discipline, Grace collaborated with Circle Y to design her new 1850 “The Dance” Western dressage saddle. A Flex2® tree allows freedom of movement for the horse, an important factor in performing precise dressage maneuvers. The saddle is lightweight with several performance and comfort features 
for both horse and rider. The strategically placed thigh blocks, seat design, and stirrup leather position allow the rider to maintain perfect dressage position and alignment. The rough out seat jockeys and fenders and rubber grip tread of the stirrups also help the rider keep a secure seat. The saddle has a dropped in-skirt rigging and close contact skirt to minimize bulk under the rider's leg and allow the horse and rider close contact for precise cueing. For the rider's comfort, the Impact Foam™ padded seat provides a comfortable cushion and the Softee® seat jockeys and fenders require no break-in time. ErgoBalance™ stirrups position the rider's feet and legs to minimize joint fatigue and promote balanced riding. For the horse, a Neo-Shock™ skirt absorbs shock and conforms to the horse, and the suede skirt liner provides grip for a no-slip fit. The skirt design also has the XPG™ Gel bar pad between the tree bars and the skirt liner to absorb shock and improve fit and comfort for the horse. The beautiful "shimmer suede" seat and skirt inlays and crystal mosaic conchos add a unique, showy flair. “This saddle is cutting edge-a fabulous one of a kind design which is unparalleled. It takes balance, freedom of movement and comfort to new heights. You cannot sit incorrectly in this saddle,” said Pam Grace.
“We are proud to add Pam to our ever growing Team of Champions. Western Dressage is a new discipline for our Brand, and Pam was a natural choice to help us introduce it to our line. Her long list of accomplishments proves she is a true Champion,” said Mark Jemelka, chief operating officer of Circle Y Saddles.
