Nancy has a
classical background in Dressage and has
been very successful training multiple
horses to the Grand Prix Level. She
has been a member of the United States
Dressage Bronze Medal Team at the North
American Championships as well as the
Alternate for the Pan American Games.
Several horses ridden and trained by Nancy
have been long listed for the Olympics and
World championships with Nancy in the irons.
Her success over the last two decades on
multiple horses reflects her talent for
riding a wide variety of horses at the Grand
Prix Level.
She has had
the opportunity to work both domestically
and abroad with some of the
greatest dressage masters of our time.
Riding each horse to its best potential is a
talent that Nancy has honed over two decades
and her sensitivity for understanding the
way each horse thinks and reacts gives her
the ability to make any horse a better
partner.
As a
teacher, her goal is to help the rider gain
a better understanding of the skills
necessary to train each horse and to
understand how the horse reacts and accepts
the training. Helping the horses and
rider communicate on the same level enables
each combination to meet their goals.
All riders that have a genuine desire to
learn are welcome, regardless of level
or goal.
