Training and coaching for the modern equestrian athlete.
Ledyard Equestrian offers horsemanship for hunter, jumper and equitation riders and their horses. My style is positive & encouraging, and my experience spans nearly three decades.
I invite you to ship-in to the training facility in East Greenville, Pa or
I will travel nationwide for groups and clinics at your farm to share a systematic, proven and
uplifting style of horsemanship.
The Ledyard Equestrian Style & Approach
For nearly thirty years I have made my living in the horse business as a judge, trainer, competitor, coach and now as an author. I have been blessed to work with so many wonderful students and horses, many of whom have ridden with me for years. Safety and details are at the forefront of my disciplined approach. I do my very best to coach in such a way that lifts a person up, approaching the horse and rider as a pair of athletes, giving them the respect they deserve.
Feel good about reaching out to Ledyard Equestrian. I promise I will do everything I can to
keep you safe, having fun and helping you and your horse become your absolute best.Family photo credit Adrienne Morella Photography
