Specializing in dressage, I am a USDF bronze and silver medalist (competed successfully through Prix St. Georges)on self-trained horses. I utilize classical methods that adhere to the training scale and work with the horse's specific psychology instead of a "one for all" training philosophy. I work closely with my students to design specific training programs that best fit their needs and allow them to maximize their potential. Whether you are a serious competitor or simply desire to develop your horse as an athlete and partner, my belief is that each client deserves the same quality of training and personal attention. Though my personal goals are focused on competing, I strive to create a positive experience in a team oriented environment for riders of all levels. I also have a background in physical therapy and have a deep understanding of how horse and human body mechanics can harmonize together. My students and I have experienced success in the show ring at local, regional and world/national levels through UDSF and breed competitions. References available upon request. Contact at ...
