Shiloh's training

Our young Paint gelding, "Shiloh" is coming along very well in his training. After an excellent start with Jack, Claudia has now taken over his Dressage training. We plan to show him this spring, so look for this talented youngster at the Dressage schooling shows in 2012.

Trainer Certification

I am pleased to announce the receipt of my Trainer Certification from the National Walking Horse Association. This is a new program through which owners and riders can access experienced and competent trainers to help them with their horses.

Carriage Driving at Green Ridge Farm

At Green Ridge Farm we are returning to the world of carriage driving. We were competing at the Advance FEI level of Combined Driving several years ago. After my competition horse had to be retired due to injuries, I took a break from Driving and concentrated on Dressage training and teaching. I am currently driving both my Tennessee Walking horses and training our young Paint horse to hopefully be a future CDE horse. I am planning to take the test to become a Certified Driving Instructor through the Carriage Association of America. I will be offering instruction in Carriage Driving at Green Ridge Farm or at other locations as needed, as well as clinics. Please contact me for more information.

"Shiloh's" Training

Our young Paint horse, Shiloh", is really growing up and doing well in his training. He seems to be a very good prospect for Dressage and I am hopeful that he will be my next Dressage star!

Trainer Certification

Just got the news that I have been accepted as a Certified Trainer for the National Walking Horse Association. I am pleased that they have started this program as it will give owners and riders a place to look for qualified trainers.
