No one is more committed to the discipline of dressage than Bonny, with her classical and compassionate approach to the sport and her horse. I am so proud to be her co-owner with Pikardi and honoured to call her my good friend." Jean Bell  "I will do ANYTHING to help and support Bonny. She has been, and still is, the best friend I have, and have ever had. Distance can NEVER change that. She is loyal, faithful, VERY gifted and determined and the most fantastic person I have had the privilege to know. I have known Bonny since our junior high school years and we have had contact ever since. We have done the most crazy things together.....ask her about her last time in Germany at the Buddenkotters................!!!!!! and when we get together, we are like school kids again. We can sit and drink coffee for hours and just talk, talk, talk.....and LAUGH. Doesn't she just have the most amazing laugh? I always say that, if there were more people like Bonny in the world, then it undoubtedly would be a great place to be. I love her." Bente Christensen  "Bonny Bonnello has been my friend, mentor and trainer for more than 10 years. In that time I have come to realize Bonny is a shy woman with strong moral character and a deep commitment to improving the sport of dressage one rider/horse at a time. She is a 'Gifted Teacher' as well as an amazingly 'hard worker' producing many Provincial and National Champions over her 40+ years in the business." Lynley Cook   "There are few equestrians who have such a wide scope of talent in their field. Bonny is an outstanding rider, trainer, coach and competitor. She does it all brilliantly! She is a dear friend, a mentor and a truly lovely person." Maureen Bilton  " Bonny not only is a great
rider, trainer and coach, she is also my best friend. In 1986 I was employed by
her family and worked at Donsdale Stables. Many years have passed, and I now
live in Saskatchewan. But whenever possible we hit the road together horse showing. We have been to California
and also Florida
this last winter. We always have a ton of laughs and a lot of fun!!
Bonny's trademark for all her students is the classical seat and position. With
Bonny's help I took a 4yr old DWB up the levels to Grand Prix, enjoyed the
journey and achieved my goal!!! I wish her the best of luck on the road to
WEG." Betty Wells   "I have always felt when I watch Bonny ride that it is hard to beat perfection. She’s a true pioneer of dressage and the “real thing” when it comes to this sport. She is kind hearted in nature, but full of the competitive spirit. She has a love for classical riding and a desire to help riders achieve perfection in their own riding through their position and seat. She is admired by so many world-wide. When you see Bonny ride, you see a beautiful picture of loveliness. I respect her and am grateful for her being a huge part in my life." Pam Lytton
"Bonny Bonnello and I have been friends for almost 30 years. I was Manager of Southlands Riding Club in Vancouver. We met shortly after the alternate Olympics in 1980, when the Canadian Equestrian Team sent Bonny to Vancouver to give a team sponsored dressage clinic at Southlands. Subsequently, I traveled with Bonny to the World Dressage Championships in Lausanne Switzerland in 1982, the Los Angeles Olympics in 1984 and the World Dressage Championships in Toronto in 1986. Very quickly I came to know and love Bonny’s mother, Mona and her father, Ray and I became aware of the tremendous contribution this family has made to the sport of dressage in Alberta and around the world. Not only did they introduce dressage to Alberta, over the years Bonny has become a fantastic ambassador for Canada, the Province of Alberta and the sport of dressage. Within the dressage community, she has instant name recognition from Aachen in Germany to Aldergrove in British Columbia.Bonny is the embodiment of the class and elegance that is dressage." Anne Wilson  "I found Bonny to be profoundly centered with a beautiful self confident aura about her. For me, I always admire people, especially women, who have those qualities. She figures out what it is she wants to achieve, she makes a plan and goes for it. Quiet determination. She teaches like that and lives her life like that. For all of us aging equestrian "babyboomers", she is our heroine!!" Sue Bibbo Bonny Bonnello, Alberta’s only Dressage Olympian, will be competing at the 2010 World Equestrian Games to be held in Kentucky, USA. In order to be successful, she needs our support!!
