 From the "archives"

 

Circa 1987 - Sandy Meador (formerly Fitzgerald) and Jennifer Reynolds (formerly White) with one of Sandy's Thoroughbreds, shortly after the grand opening of Pine Meadow Farm (now Cross Country Arabians).  Sandy and Jen were founding members of the Southwest Florida Dressage and Combined Training Association (now known as the Southwest Florida Dressage Association).  Part of Sandy's vision for DaVinci Farms is to recreate the combined training orientation of her old farm.
