I began my riding career showing Hunters, but was "captured" by Dressage. For 30+ yrs I have been fortunate to have worked with many top trainers and clinicians. I also strongly believe in continuing education, within our sport, thus have participated in the L Judges and the USDF Instructor Certification PA programs. Classical, correct riding on the flat will benefit every horse and rider. There is no greater thrill for me than to see a horse and rider team learn together.

  • No matter what your level
  • In or out of the show ring
  • Fun and success with Dressage
