About the Trainer:
Barbra is the farm manager, trainer and sales horse consultant. She is a United States Dressage Association Bronze Medalist and has over 30 years experience in training young horses and teaching novice riders. Barbra attended Michigan State University ’s Pre-Veterinary program for two years then transferred to Centenary College in New Jersey where she earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Equine Studies. She also attended Porlock Vale Equestrian Centre in England and she earned a British Horse Society Assistant Instructor Certificate. To continue her own education Barb worked wth Grand Prix rider and USDF 'S' judge Maryal Barnett and currently trains with Teah Bankes . In June 2010 she spent a week in Canada with riding with well known German Master Walter Zettl. She also rode with Catherine Haddad at BRF in August of 2010, Michael Bragdell (of Hilltop Farms) in March 2011 and Dr. Christian Schacht, DVM in May 2011. She has also cliniced with Jochen Hippenstehl (formerly of Temple Lippizzans) and Gerhard Politz from California. Most recently (July 2011) she rode with Debbie McDonald (two time Olympic veteran) at Brilliant Reflection Farm.

Barb has started numerous young horses, following the classical dressage training scale to make sure they have the solid foundation necessary to become future dressage stars. Barb has a knack for teaching and training novice horses and riders. Her students have excelled at shows, normally placing in the ribbons with scores above 60% and receiving numerous year end awards. The horses she trains and show (both her own as well as privately owned) mirror her patient method of training. She is extremely patient with young horses, building the foundation for any riding discipline in the future.

In addition to teaching, training, showing and running a boarding facility, Barb held a position on the Midwest Dressage Association board of directors and was a TEAM board member when it was the Michigan Combined Training Association. She also served as the organizer/event chair
