Dream Team Dressage

About Michelle

A native of Colorado, Michelle is a United States Dressage Federation Bronze and Silver Medalist with more than 40 years of riding experience.  She has competed successfully through the International Dressage Federation Intermediate I level.  Michelle's long time friend and trainer Heather Kennedy has been her primary influence and inspiration. Heather spent several years training at Stal Balkenhol in Germany with her own and her client's horses, and her instruction and support has been key to Michelle's Dressage education. Michelle has also trained with Stefan Wolff, Jan Ebeling, and other notable clinicians and trainers. She maintains a network of contacts in the USA and Europe for horse shopping. 

Michelle aspires to make horsemanship and Dressage approachable and understandable for everyone, with an emphasis on cooperation, confidence and safety built on a well-rounded equestrian education.  She uses the latest technology along with time-tested methods. Her clients become friends, and the horses in her care are cherished.
