Jim DiMilte / Dressage Trainer in Bellevue, Washington

I am a USDF certified riding instructor who has ridden with many of the most respected names in the dressage world. While being certified by the Morven Park International Equestrian Institute in 1971, Jim studied with Major Joseph Lynch, the 1968 US Olympic Team coach, and Jimmy Wofford, one of that team's riders.
Since that time I have pursued excellence in dressage, studying with Hans Möeller and Hans Handler of the Spanish Riding School, Charles DeKunffy, Hilda Guerney, Dominique Barbier, Natalie Lamping, Tom Poulin, Michael Handler, Lilo Fore, Sonja Vracko and many other respected and accomplished clinicians. Jim has also had the opportunity to attend clinics where he learned from Reiner Klimke, Robert Dover, Christine Stüeckelberger and Gustav Nableaus, former president of the FEI dressage committee. I work well with all levels of riders. In addition to 30-plus years of teaching private and group lessons, he has taught 4-H groups, pony club, community college courses in Texas and Illinois and college courses at Prescott College in Arizona and Seattle University in Washington.
You should know the "why" not just the "how". Any one can give instructions, but how many can "teach"?
