about me

I enjoy helping riders find creative ways to tap into their horse’s abilities. I work with riders toward clarifying their goals (whatever they are!) and then improving communication with their horses. Clarity builds confidence. 

For riders with showing goals in mind, my teaching reflects the training scale that develop horses & riders as they move up the levels. In addition to lessons and clinics, I coach riders at both local and recognized shows and have helped students earn their USDF Bronze & Silver medals.  

I started teaching over 20 years ago, spending many years at UMass teaching dressage & jumping, equine management and coaching the dressage team. I was voted coach of the year for the Intercollegiate Dressage Association (2010) and was inducted into their Hall of Fame. I’m a certified Level I instructor through the USEA (US Eventing Association), and a USDF L graduate (US Dressage Federation’s judge education program).  I judge schooling shows throughout New England. 

I’m also a PMA certified Pilates Instructor. I’m committed to helping all bodies move better…horses & humans!
