"Hi Dianne:
Just wanted to give you an update on Lloyd. Everything is very good with him - he is becoming more spoiled as the days go on. I have moved him to a new barn. ANYWAY - he has a new trainer, I think he will be very good for Lloyd. Of course, he really enjoys riding him and I have come to realize that it is not my shining personality that has drawn trainers to me. But I did want you to know that my trainer said it is clear that Lloyd "tones" down himself for me - to protect me - yet he gives my trainer his all. And that Lloyd likes to work. I think that, as someone who imported him, that you would want to know that.
You must be in Florida by now - but if you are in the Chicago area you are invited to visit at any time. Happy show season!"

"Hello Diane,
I've been wanting to send you a quick note for some time now to thank you for my wonderful new partner, Koraal. He is just about perfect for me and we are learning a lot. Koraal is patient, tolerant, and trustworthy. There is so little honesty in the equine business, that I thought you might appreciate the recognition. Thank you again, and we will keep you posted, once the show season begins."
- Lissa Soffer and Koraal

"My experience buying Kasper V from Diane Rodich was an extremely positive one. From the first trial ride through the final vetting and shipment to my barn, Diane was extremely helpful and accommodating. Through the entire process, she always stuck to her word and always followed through with any promises or commitments she made. She was open and forthcoming regarding her impressions of the horse. The most important criteria that my trainer and I communicated to Diane was that the horse must have a quiet demeanor. Diane had many horses for me to choose from, but recommended Kasper mainly because of his 'safety factor' and rideability by an amateur. He has turned out to be exactly as she described and has been a phenominal horse from which I can learn the finer points of dressage. I have learned so much on him in the past year, and I now feel confident to be able to enter a Second Level test whereas prior to owning him, I was stuck at Training Level for many years! I am excited to try to work with Diane in the future for Kasper's Grand Prix training of passage and piaffe. Thanks Diane."

"Hi Diane!
I just wanted to send you a picture of Lloyd from one of our shows. I competed him at Prix.St.Georges in 2005. He qualified for the region 8 Championships and received over 63% in the open Championship class! Not bad for his first show season here. His owner, Deborah, will probably show him this year. He is such a wonderful horse. He is very safe and talented. He is schooling everything in the Grand Prix now. Everyone loves him!!! I always tell people to contact you if they are looking for a horse to buy. Thanks for everything."
