Training & Coaching

Eventing and dressage instruction for every level of horse and rider

The HPE Approach

Holly has completed the Instructor Certification Program and is ICP Level 3 certified. The foundation for both her teaching and training lies not only in classical equestrian theories, but also in the ever-changing dynamics of the evolving equine sport. In short, Holly promotes an independent thinking for both the horse and rider that is grounded in the basics of fundamental horsemanship. Having ridden with many top competitors and trainers in both dressage and eventing, Holly believes in constantly learning and perfecting her skills not only to develop herself but also to share with her students.

Holly divides her time between competing and training. Most of her students are also eventers, creating a strong, family-like support system where all her students travel together, compete together, and cheer each other on. Holly fosters a team atmosphere where everyone feels like they play a role whether they compete or are supportive fans. Everyone gets involved, is supportive and most importantly has fun!
