About The Expert
Dressage rider Kasey Perry-Glass made her Olympic debut at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, where she and her mount Dublet were members of the bronze medal-winning U.S. Dressage Team. She began riding at age five when she joined her sisters and mother at a small community barn in Northern California training with Carmela Richards. She soon saw how much fun her friends were having jumping, discovered the discipline of eventing, and went on to train with eventing Olympian Gina Miles. Perry-Glass became more interested in dressage in high school when she was training with Gina Duran at Topline Training. She ultimately decided to pursue dressage full-time and began training with ENE French Riding Academy graduate, Christophe Theallet. Perry-Glass pursued her riding as she attended and graduated from California State University Sacramento with a degree in business entrepreneurship. Now working closely with Olympian Debbie McDonald, Perry-Glass divides her time between her Wellington, Fla., winter base and Hailey, Idaho, at the Thomas family’s River Grove Farm.
