The sport of dressage is hotly contested at each of its levels (elementary/intro-Grand Prix), and thus a large number of well-known athletes, both human and equine, have been borne of it.
Many of the world's best-known dressage riders are from Germany or the Netherlands, the undisputed champions of FEI level dressage. Such riders include multiple-time Olympians Anky van Grunsven (Neth), Isabell Werth (Ger), Heike Kimmer (Ger), Ulla Salzgeber (Ger), Nicole Uphoff (Ger), the late Reiner Klimke (Ger), Edward Gal (Neth). The rest of Europe has had quite a few champions, such as Carl Hester (UK), Andreas Helgstrand (Denmark), Silvia Rizzo (Italy), Rafael Soto (Spain), among others.
The US, too, has managed to hold its own in international competition, with riders such as Steffen Peters, Sue Blinks, Lendon Gray, Guenter Siedel, Robert Dover, and Debbie McDonald. It is worth noting that that majority of upper-level US riders have either spent a fair amount of time training in Europe, or have a second facility there for part of the year.
THE NAMES ARE LOUISE, CRANYO AND PONKO.

What if your help Please Dressage Riders I am leasing a Belgian mare and she is only green broke i might finish her training in dressage but i am a jumper so should i switch to dressage for her?
If you are leasing a Belgian mare and she is only green broke, it would be best to finish her training in dressage if she was started in dressage. If you are primarily a jumper, you would do better with an expert to help finish her in dressage before confusing her with jumping. A Belgian is a heavy horse and jumping can cause quite a bit of strain to the tendons and bones of the legs, especially if she is close to two thousand pounds. Dressage riders tend to place less strain on the horse. If you do switch to dressage, make sure to train with an expert.
