Heather is an International Grand Prix dressage rider, trainer, instructor, and clinician, who was born and raised outside Portland, Oregon. She has loved horses from the very beginning and participated in 4-H with her half-Arabian gelding SB Flame Dancer, who would later become the first horse she trained to Grand Prix. Since then she has trained multiple horses to FEI, competed extensively in the Northwest and on the California CDI circuit, and competed at the USEF Festival of Champions twice on two different self-trained horses: Escorial in 2012 (Intermediare I) and Victor in 2016 (Grand Prix). Although she has worked with many excellent instructors, Heather credits Ernst Herrmann, Conrad Schumacher, and the late Dietrich von Hopffgarten as the biggest influences on her training philosophy. Heather has been training and teaching dressage professionally for over 20 years and has helped many amateur, junior, and professional riders achieve their personal goals, whether sitting the trot correctly to competing at the NAJYRC. She is a talented and positive yet honest instructor with an excellent eye for detail, a deep interest in continuing education, and a tremendous amount of experience teaching through FEI.
