Valerie Baker is the trainer and instructor for White Horse Dressage. At WHD, we aim to encourage a life-long admiration and appreciation of horses. Whether it is competing, trail riding, accomplishing personal goals, or just riding for the fun and socialization of it - White Horse Dressage offers a great experience for you or your child!
Riding and caring for horses and being in a barn community helps all children and teens learn responsibility, team work, sportsmanship, and compassion. Riding with our show team offers all the benefits of team sports with the added rewards of teaming up with a wonderful horse. Come on by and see what we are all about!
White Horse Dressage offers several ponies and horses for the student to work with and progress through the levels of dressage from basic riding to Second Level on a seasoned retired champion.
Valerie has over 35 years working with horses starting with the United States Pony Club in Southern California in the late 1970's. This was an excellent foundation for a strong background on safety and good horsekeeping. She has taught for many horse camps over the years in Southern and Northern California and instructed many students in the art of dressage for a total of 8 years with happy and healthy clients and horses. She has won several regional championships and one state championship, plus taken young horses to the Arabian Sport Horse Nationals in Idaho. Her students score well at both rated and schooling dressage and breed shows.
