Our trainer, Maren Reinbold, has been riding competitively since she was six years old…. In that time she has competed in medals, Pony Club, dressage, hunters and jumpers. She currently actively competes in hunters, dressage and jumpers and has focused on developing our young horses to be competitive in the show ring. Her love of horses is infectious and her primary goal is for the rider and the horse to develop together to reach their full potential.
Lessons are either private or semi-private and focus on developing the proper fundamentals for each discipline – augmented with lots of variety and fun — hunts, mountain trail rides, x-country schooling and cross-training in other disciplines.
Maren has developed many horses from just-backed to competitive in the show ring. She is currently working with many of our 3 – 6 year olds as they progress in their hunter, jumper and dressage careers. Please contact us if you would like more information on training or lessons.
