Central States Dressage and Eventing Association presents a Dressage Clinic with Debbie McDonald at the University of Minnesota, Leatherdale Equine Center

Since winning the Individual and Team Gold Medals at the 1999 Pan American Games, Debbie's consistent excellence has earned her the title, "First Lady of American Dressage."  She and her partner, Brentina, were the first Americans to win the Dressage World Cup in 2003.  At the World Equestrian Games, they were part of the silver-medal-winning U.S. Team in 2002 and the bronze-medal-winning team in 2006.  They were members of the bronze-medal-winning team at the 2004 Athens Olympics, where they took forth individually.

In 2010, Debbie was named the United States Equestrian Federation's Developing Dressage Coach.
