I have been teaching dressage as the "traveling trainer" for over 25 years. I have worked with students of varying abilities, styles, and goals. I have trained and shown horses from Training Level to FEI and have earned TOP TEN Arab Division Prix St. Georges, as well as All-Breeds awards for Intermediary and the USDF Silver Medal. Let me introduce you to the addiction of Dressage.
