Dana began her show career in the hunter ring, but was captured by Dressage after discovering how correct riding on the flat will benefit every horse. For the past 30 years she has successfully trained and shown in open dressage classes from training level thought Prix St Georges. "I have been fortunate to have obtained my Dressage education from top trainers and clinicians. I also believe that continuing education in Dressage is important. Reading, watching, and participating help keep trainers up to date on new issues, yet reaffirm the basics of correct training methods." Dana has participated in the L judges program as well as the USDF Instructor Certification program. "I think, because I began in the hunter ring, I enjoy both flatwork for Hunters as well as Dressage. There is no greater joy for me than to see both horse and rider improve and move up the levels together as they learn."... See More

I teach beginners to advanced. I emphasize strong flat work to contribute to jumping skills. Most importantly I want all my students to have fun and enjoy riding. I also take horses in training. Riding is a team effort between the horse and his rider. Working with each individually and then putting the two together makes success. I am also an H-A in Pony Club and have foxhunted for many years. I have been showing in the hunter/jumper circuit nationwide for the past 20 years.... See More

Offering beginner to advanced riding lessons in hunters, jumpers, hunt seat equitation and western. I offer a beautiful safe facility to encourage learning. All ages are welcome!

“Safety first” is the foundation of my lesson philosophy. Once we have safety skills in place, we can be free to let the fun begin! My teaching style is very laid back and relaxed because I thoroughly enjoy teaching you to ride. I want to project that to my students so you get your best ride possible in every lesson. Are you ready to work? Every lesson will be an energy-filled hour. We go at your pace, but constantly keep things fresh with lots of different exercises and equestrian theory. You will get more out of riding if you know why you are sitting that trot, keeping your heels down, eyes up, toes in. Each lesson should teach you something new as well as practicing what you already know.

I don’t push showing, but if you want to compete I can get you ready for the ring. I have students who show WCSA, CSDEA and MN Hunter. I also have students that never enter a show ring, and that’s okay too. What matters most is that you enjoy lesson times- whether you will be throwing a leg over the saddle for the first time, have gotten away from riding and want to start up again, or are looking to build on the skills you already have and take riding to the next level.

We can talk about your goals and how best to achieve them - whether you want to ride for fun, exercise, competition, or just to be around horses.

I have a lot of great lesson horses available to match all experience levels. I can also travel to your barn or other locations as needed.... See More
