This encompasses dressage to FEI levels, including taking one member’s horse from first level to showing success at Prix St. George, as well as preparing eventers for winning horse trials rides, and beginners to personal as well as showing success. Private and group lessons, quadrille work, and full training are available at all levels, as well as jumping and cross-training using dressage.

In the 1970′s, she was involved in dressage, eventing and fox hunting in the Midwest, as well as teaching dressage and jumping in Chicago, the Philippines, and Australia. In the 1960′s, she finished a junior showing career in equitation, jumpers, and dressage by winning the AHSA Pacific Coast Hunt Seat Equitation Championship.
