“I have had many trainers since I began riding and I have never found one as effective as Olivia. I think what makes her truly exceptional is that she adapts her approach to suit each rider and each horse. She has such a deep understanding of the core of dressage that she is able to mold her lessons to the needs of each particular rider and horse without compromising the integrity of the sport.”

Clinics & Shows
In the words of Conrad Schumacher we should all “ride more like Olivia.” In addition to being a skilled coach, Olivia is an accomplished rider who’s mastery of classical dressage is respected by noted clinicians and judges. Olivia and her students regularly attend and ride in local clinics and shows. Auditing is always encouraged for those who are not riding.
For both shows and clinics Olivia is available to ride clients horses or coach students riding their own horses.
“Olivia is the most patient, kind and supportive trainer I’ve ever worked with. I took a 20 year break from riding and was nervous about getting back into it. Olivia helped me find the right horse and training plan to build back up my confidence. In just a few short years I went from being a beginner to scoring over 70% and getting my first two qualifying scores towards my Bronze Medal!”
