3 Graces Dressage Supports Future Champions Through Friendships and Commitments in Horse Sport Community

Sponsorship and Education

3 Graces Dressage is so much more than just another beautiful horse farm in Wellington, Florida. As the home base to successful FEI dressage rider, Rebecca Cohen, and designed by her mother, Carol Cohen-Hodess and her husband, Blake Hodess, 3 Graces is dedicated to three founding principles of - Growth, Gratitude and Generosity.

Growth represents Rebecca’s growth in the sport, Gratitude is the feeling that the entire family feels toward the farm and their lives, and Generosity represents their commitment to giving back to horse sport, the community, and other important endeavors.

By applying these graces to all they do, the 3 Graces family nurtures friendships and supports future champions – both horse and human – in the sport horse community.

The Success and Wellbeing of the Horse Comes First

An example of this can be found within Rebecca’s relationship with her trainer, Jan Brink’s family, and a talented mare named Tuschomie (by Tuschinski x Blue Hors Romancier).

“Tuschomie was the first horse 3 Graces bought from us,” explains Catharina Brink, Jan’s wife and partner in their training center in Sweden, Tullstorp Dressage. “Rebecca was training, learning, and competing on Tuschomie with my husband for many years.” She explained that after about six years, Rebecca found that the mare could do everything for Grand Prix level, but was more comfortable with the piaffe going a little forward rather than on the spot as the Grand Prix requires. So last August, Rebecca decided to put the success and wellbeing of the horse first and foremost. She asked Jan and Catharina if they would like to have Tuschomie as a future junior young rider horse for their 15 year old daughter, Angelina Brink.

“For Rebecca, it was a wonderful opportunity to bring Tuschomie down a level to do the young rider classes. Angelina and Tuschomie just clicked immediately. They found each other so fast,” Catharina describes, “They really, really love each other!”

That love quickly translated into success. Angelina debuted in national 3* FEI Team Test for Juniors with Tuschomie and won with 72.273%. From one judge they scored 75.45% and they also made their first Swedish Championship qualification. Catharina says they are very grateful for the 3 Graces Dressage family. “I am grateful for their support of dressage both in the US and in Sweden and we are grateful that Tuschomie will stay in Sweden as Angelina’s teammate throughout her years as a young rider.”

Another rising star in the family is Angelina’s younger brother, 14 year old Oliver Brink. “Oliver is also a rider,” Catharina smiles, “He was a silver medalist in the Swedish Championship last year, and he also competed in the Nordic Championships.” Catharina goes on to say that he has a new mount for his next two years as a junior rider. Last month Oliver debuted his new 9-year-old palomino stallion, Herzzauber D (by Herzkönig x Casino Royale K).

In their first competition ever together in the 2* FEI Team Test they won with 69%, and they received a 9 for the collected trot. Then, the next day they debuted in a national 3* FEI Team Test and won again with 71%. This was also the first qualification for the Swedish Championship. Oliver says he plans to follow in his father’s footsteps and become a professional rider and trainer. 3 Graces is looking forward to watching and supporting him as he grows up in the dressage world as well.

Beyond the Dressage Arena

3 Graces Dressage also extends their commitment to horse sport beyond the dressage arena. For example, when Rebecca is not in full dressage competition mode or in Europe training, she plays competition polo. Additionally, 3 Graces partners in the show jumping world with the legendary Meredith Michaels Beerbaum and her husband Markus Beerbaum through a co-ownership of the horse, Kiss Me.

Meredith explains that, through the co-ownership of Kiss Me over the past two years, her professional relationship with Carol quickly progressed to a deep friendship. This started when Meredith and Markus were training Nataly Leibovitz on 3 Graces’ Kiss Me. When the ride for Kiss Me came up, Carol wanted to keep Kiss Me in training with the Beerbaums, so she suggested the partnership to allow Meredith’s 15-year-old daughter, Brianne Beerbaum to ride and compete on Kiss Me.

“Carol was all gung-ho,” Meredith describes about her support for Brianne, “and I was delighted because we get along so well and love spending time together. It just seemed like the perfect solution.” She continues, “So we put Brianne on Kiss Me and it was a match made in heaven. Since then, it’s been all smiles because the horse has been developing outstandingly. We started with him last summer and he just got better and better and better!”

As a junior rider in Germany, Brianne has done remarkably well, winning gold medals for Germany and winning the German championships three times in a row. Since then, riding Kiss Me has taken her to new heights. Meredith explains, “The icing on the cake last year was when she went to the indoor show in Hanover and rode against only professionals. She was only 15 years old and won two big classes including the 140-meter Grand Prix.” Because Brianne is turning 16 this year, during the season in Florida, she was able to compete into the higher levels. Her proud mom continues, “This year on the grass she rode in her very first 2* Grand Prix double clear with Kiss Me and placed in the top twelve against Olympians!” Brianne and Kiss Me also had a 4th place finish in the $125,000 1.50m Grand Prix under lights as well as finishing fourth in the Grand Prix Qualifier. Meredith is equally proud of Brianne’s academic success, stating that as a straight A student with an A+ in physics, her studies are a major part of her life outside of horses.

“We are delighted about our partnership with Carol and 3 Graces and the future,” Meredith smiles, “Not only to have an outstanding little rider for Kiss Me, but as a friend to be a part of it and get to share the fun we have. We are thrilled to have Carol a part of our team and family!”

Through Growth, Gratitude and Generosity, 3 Graces Dressage helps and supports future champions, both horses and humans in the sport horse community. In addition to 3 Graces continuing their sponsorship support of Global Dressage and the Wellington Classic Dressage circuit for 2026, the farm has also become a United States Equestrian Federation (USEF) partner for 2026, supporting the USEF Dressage Grand Prix National Championships and the US Dressage Festival of Champions.

This year, 3 Graces Dressage worked in conjunction with Wellington International, to produce the very successful Inaugural Dressage Infusion Master Class with Kyra Kyrklund, Cathrine Lauderup-Dufour and Jan Brink at the sold-out Global Dressage stadium. The event delivered on every level and embraced the very essence of 3 Graces Dressage’s creed: Growth, Gratitude and Generosity.

Along with sponsoring the CDI5* Grand Prix division in 2026, 3 Graces Dressage also awarded the 3 Graces Award recognizing one rider at each of the 2026 Adequan® Global Dressage CDI competition. This award was presented to an individual that practices the values of 3 Graces and sets an example for moving the sport forward with correct training, compassion for their horse, and gratitude for the sport!
