Gatsby heads to the Hunter ring in 2010!


Wilsonville, OR - After working up to Third and Fourth Level Dressage we recently moved Gatsby to the Hunter ring for the 2010 show season. Gatsby's new Hunter trainer will be Rebekah Swan of Swan Training located at her barn, Whip 'N' Spur in Wilsonville, Oregon. Gatsby and Beka are already getting on nicely and he is looking good over the jumps.


You may know Whip 'N' Spur from its prestige established over the years under its previous owners. Whip 'N' Spur has been the home of World Cup Jumper rider and trainer, Rich Fellers for many years. Whip 'N' Spur has all the charm of a quaint Eastcoast barn that is hard to find on the Pacific side of the country.


Rebekah and her husband, JR, bought Whip 'N' Spur a couple of years ago and started a new chapter in this already successful story. Beka and JR are more than a good trainer and business people, they are truly wonderful people and have already become good friends. Beka's respect and appreciation for Gatsby are evident and started years ago when she bought and fell in love with a Gatsby baby of her own. Beka is the previous owner of Ginelle, who is now owned by Kitri Falxa of Bend, OR.

You will be able to catch Beka and Gatsby in the Hunter ring this summer at several shows in Oregon. To see the show schedule or just learn more about Swan Training or Whip 'N' Spur, please visit Beka's website at
