Welcome to the Dressage Today Podcast! For our July episode, we are welcoming Michele Wellman of By Chance Farm in Fredrick County, Maryland. Michele started By Chance Farm back in 2002, and has been working to expand boarding, riding and showing opportunities for riders all around the area ever since. Last month, a freak storm hit their farm, causing major devastation to their structures, while miraculously sparing all lives. Listen in while Michele tells us about By Chance Farm and her vision for it, the incident and the incredible response that she has had from horsepeople all across our country.
