Ride with Classically Trained Dressage Clinician
Carol's classical dressage training
crosses the boundaries among the
German, Spanish, and French systems:
German system
while growing up in Great Britain and Germany
French Classical approach during her
years with Christopher Bartle (Saumur)
In 2002 and 2003 at the Real Escuela Andaluza
del Arte Equestre in Spain
To round out her classical training she also lessoned from
riders of
the Portuguese School of Equestrian Art and the Spanish Riding School
while
clinicing with Karl Milkolka, Rockivanski, & Arthur Kottas. She
regularly travels
to Spain and Portugal to continue training with
mentor Juan Matute.
Carol competed
in Dressage at the FEI level in Europe for several
years often representing the USET
at shows. Before concentrating on
Dressage, she had been selected as reserve rider
for the US Eventing
team for the Seoul Olympics in 1988 and long listed for the Barcelona
Olympics.
Carol
holds her Bereiter license from Germany and instructor's license
from Spain. Carol
was the head trainer for the Bavarian Warmblood
Association's 100-
evaluators who then arranged for her to oversee the trainers
for the
German 100 day test. After the Warmblood evaluations, she was invited
to participate
in the Friesian and Haflinger tests.
Carol offers the rare combination of not only
being able to ride at
the highest levels, but to transfer her knowledge and 'feel'
to her
students.
Carol helps riders develop the relationship riders wish they could
have
with their horse…a riding relationship where the horse feels what
the rider wants
