Those whom I have studied with and continue to learn from “as your education should never stop”.
Jane Savoie – entrepreneur, author, motivational speaker and coach. Jane has been a lifelong coach and mentor for me. I have trained and ridden with Jane all throughout my riding career. I was once asked an interesting job interview question, “Who is that one person who has impacted your life the most outside of your parents?” I quickly answered, Jane Savoie. The impact she has had on my life is not just in my riding and training but also as a personal friend and mentor. “Live Your Dreams”
Ruth Hogan-Poulsen – Ruth has earned her USDF Bronze, Silver and Gold medals as well as her Freestyle Gold Bar and has been named a 4* rider on Centerline Scores. 4* and 5* designations are significantly harder to attain and riders/trainers of these standings should be considered well-rounded, experienced and among the upper level of U.S. dressage talent in the areas of performance and experience.
