Career Highlights & Qualifications

 In my professional career I have been blessed to work with many talented horses, riders and mentors that have shaped me as a person, athlete as well as my philosophy. I was lucky enough to spend many years working with and beside two-time Olympian Amy Tryon, as well as dressage coach Jeremy Steinberg; USEF Dressage Youth Coach and USEF High performance Rider. Amy and Jeremy had a huge influence on not only my personal riding and training of horses but in my teaching and coaching philosophies. I was also able to supplement my work with some great instructors and clinicians.  Monthly dressage sessions with Dietrich and Kim Von Hoppfgarten and clinics over the years with Jeremy Beale, Mark Phillips, Bea and Derek Di Grazia, Kim Severson and Phillip Dutton helped propel me to the upper levels.

“A solid foundation built on the fundamentals along with the love and appreciation of the journey, allow for endless possibilities in the growth of both the rider as well as their equine partner.”  - Alexis Lind
