DRESSAGE is a journey, not a destination

In additions to her FEI horses, Mary trains outside horses for breeders and individuals for a number of disciplines, including Dressage, Western Pleasure and Exhibition. “Communication between horse and rider is both the key and the joy. Each horse is a teacher and learning the lessons they offer us in our journey is a great  reward. Establishing trust and respect creates a bond that allows us to find each horses unique ability and way. The wonderful part about working with a variety of horses and disciplines is the awareness and understanding that it creates in me and strengthens my ability to communicate.”

Mary also starts many young horses under saddle and enjoys seeing young horses gain the confidence and understanding of their task. “It is the most important job we do as trainers. Establishing the correct foundation and communication in the beginning is the difference between a well trained horse and one who is nervous and unsure. Their needs are just like children, good fundamentals, Trust, love, work ethic are fundamental is their ultimate develpment and happiness.”

Mary also judges local schooling shows and gives clinics . I enjoy encouraging and supporting our local riders that want to improve their riding skills, no matter what discipline they chose.

Although Mary enjoys working with all breeds and disciplines, her passion is for the Baroque Stallions she trains and show nationally. “The bravado they exhibit is equally matched by their even temperaments and elegant movement they offer.”

Because of their naturally collected movement, their training structure is different from the big moving warmbloods that dominate today Dressage arenas at the lower levels.

“As with all things, cycles are part of a nature, and as people find what a joy they are to own and ride, I  think the Baroque horses will be the next big cycle in Dressage.”
