Robin Breuckmann is an USEF 'S' dressage judge and an USEF 'R' combined training judge and technical delegate.
In September, Robin will be representing the United States at the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games as a Paralympic Equestrian Rider in Hong Kong.
Make sure to watch for Robin and other US Paralympic Riders this September: (Sep 9-12 Eventing/13-19 Dressage/15-20 Jumping).
In this year's games, Robin will be making sure her horses' diets are complete with 2 key Thera CellEQ performance supplements: Pre-Performance and Post-Performance EQ.
"I like the fact that Thera Cell products are made from real organic food, not drugs or even nutraceuticals.
They are a great adjunct to a natural lifestyle for my horses.
I can compete at the highest levels with confidence that my horses' health is naturally supported.
The Training Wafers are palatable, even for my picky Grand Prix horse, Richmond."
