Laura Graves has welcomed two new Grand Prix horses, Java Dulce and Sole Mio, into her barn. Java Dulce, a Danish warmblood gelding, was originally named JJ Jaguar and has been produced up the ranks by Emily Miles. Sole Mio, a Rhinelander stallion, was imported to the U.S. in 2017 and has been successful under Miles, winning multiple championships.
With Emily Miles stepping back from her equestrian career, Java Dulce and Sole Mio have moved to Laura Graves’ yard in Florida for continued training. Leslie Waterman, the owner of the horses, is a passionate dressage horse investor and breeder who is building a new training facility in Sonoma, California. Waterman’s other horse, Daily Show, is still with Miles in Kansas recovering from an injury.
Waterman’s horses are continuing their development towards top sport under Graves’ guidance. Waterman is excited to move her young prospects to her new facility in Sonoma and is looking forward to being with her horses again. She is a California native and is eager to return home to continue her work with her talented dressage horses.
