Artesian Farm LLC Cari E. Chellstorp / Dressage Trainer in Iron River, Wisconsin

Cari rode her first GP horse with Wolfgang May when she had just turned 17 and spent close to 6 years working with him and several other of the Tempel Farms riders, as she became a trainer there when she turned 18. Cari has over 50 years of experience as a professional. She was a WS to Olympic coach Melle Van Bruggen and then spent 5 years working for Olympic team member John Winnett. Cari also has worked for or lessoned/cliniced with many, many top international known trainers such as Natalie Lamping, George Williams, Kathy Connelly, Mette Rosencranz, Hans Biss, Col. Hans Mueller, and Robert Dover. Having been on the board of the IDCTA for many years, Cari was privileged to have access to the clinics at Tempel Farms with Gunter Seidel, Conrad Schumacher, and Reiner Klimke. She always takes full advantage of every opportunity to learn everything she can in order to pass that knowledge along to her students. Her students and horses have won many local, state and regional championships and she herself won several National and Grand National Championships before she was 18, training Paso Finos for Rancho Del Rosa, first in IL and then in North Carolina. This enabled her to finance her dressage passion and to buy her first nice horse from Bodo Hangen, who kindly made it available to her for a reasonable price. Because she had many trainers who helped her on her journey, she likes to help other young people on their quest, as well. Cari also suffered a severe TBI in 2007 when a horse fell on her. She was wearing a helmet, which the doctors say saved her from either death or more severe permanent disability, and she very much enjoys working with student who have disabilities. Physical or emotional wounds, she can relate and does her best to help heal the past and make riding enjoyable again. Cari is available to travel to other stables to teach and/or give clinics.
