    Greta Wrigley is a Florida based "Arabian"Dressage trainer, she has her 
USDF SIlver Medal and may have earned her USDF Gold by now, all on Arabs!! 
Her dressage exhibition to music is incredible and taught my husband the 
difference between  working, extended and the collected gaits.  She is truly 
an "Arabian Ambassador"!
