Over 40 years of experience riding horses, fourteen years of it as a “full-time professional”. My first fifteen years of experience began riding Saddleseat, Hunt Seat & Western. In my early twentys, I began to learn dressage...and discovered how much I enjoyed the challenge.
I still continue to do other disciplines, but use dressage as a basis for all of them. I currently have five horses I train ranging in experience from Training Level to schooling Prix St Georges as well as schooling and showing in Western Dressage. Three of them also jump and they all enjoy field trips to the park.
We have lesson horses available. Beginner safe as well as some that are farther along in training for the more advanced riders. I am insured and will travel.
I use the principles of dressage to improve horses and riders in every discipline. Straight forward, easy to understand approach. All level riders welcome. All disciplines and breeds welcome.
I pride myself on my ability to train and show the “Non-Traditional Dressage Horse” and be successful in and out of the show ring. In fact, in two seasons, I competed in Dressage on an Appendix AQHA in First & Second Level, a Haflinger in Second Level and an Off Track Thoroughbred in Third Level. All of which I trained from start to right now. With these 3, I received my USDF Bronze Medal.
