I have been a successful FEI level dressage trainer and instructor for more than 20 years.
I enjoy working with all breeds of horses and all levels of riders. I have been known to train some rather unconventional horses to the FEI level! They have been wonderful experiences and it is always fun to bring out the best in horses that others might pass on. This sport is a journey, after all. The learning never ends.
My primary influence and my greatest mentor has been Jane Savoie. I have had the pleasure of working with her over the last 15 years. She has been instrumental in helping me develop my teaching and training skills. I am currently a Level 5 certified instructor at the Savoie Dressage Academy.
I have had the honor of attending regular clinics with some amazing clinicians. Ulla Salzgeber, Kalman de Jurenak, Franz Rochowansky, Kurd Albrecht von Ziegner, Bodil Russ, Heather Blitz, Alfredo Hernandez, Joan Bolton, Mary Wanless, Hans Heinrich Meyer zu Strohen. There have been many wonderful people who have guided me on my way. I always look for opportunities to learn. It is my very favorite part of the sport of dressage.
I am located at Whispering Farms Equestrian Center, LLC which is just north of Dallas in Prosper, Texas. This is a wonderful facility with a huge indoor arena with two giant Big Ass Fans. Great for our hot Texas summers! The barn is lovely with excellent, premium care. The people are friendly and the horses are healthy and happy.
The Platinum Dressage Team has an active show schedule and a great group of people who enjoy competing and being supportive of each other. Showing should be a fun experience! Many of our clients say they have never had such a good time at shows as they have had with our group. This is exactly what I strive for!
I look forward to visiting with you about how I can help you achieve your dressage goals. Please feel free to visit our Facebook pages: The Platinum Dressage Team and Whispering Farms Equestrian Center, LLC
