A’Dashi Announces Merger Into The Paddock Saddlery

The FEI World Cup brought great excitement to the equestrian world, including the announcement that Lisa Gorretta and Carey Smith-Wilson, of The Paddock Corporation, Chagrin Falls, Ohio, will bring Shirley Johnson's company A'Dashi, Argyle, Texas into their organization.

The Paddock Saddlery, established in 1986, is one the nation’s oldest and most respected full-service English riding apparel and tack retailers. A’Dashi has been the dressage industry’s premier fashion and apparel boutique since 1997. 

 “We are very excited about bringing Shirley’s talents and her great A'Dashi line into The Paddock Saddlery,” said Gorretta. “Now with the addition of the A’Dashi boutique,” states Johnson, “The Paddock Saddlery will simply be the unparalleled source for fashion and fine equestrian apparel, as well as excellent leather goods. The bottom line is that The Paddock will offer the largest combined selection of Pikeur and Grand Prix in the US.”

Over the next year Johnson will work closely with The Paddock Saddlery at many of the major events, including Dressage at Devon and the Winter Circuit in Florida in 2008.
