An accomplished FEI
Grand Prix Dressage Rider and Trainer. Ashley brings classical training to all
equestrian disciplines. A good seat, balance, and a bond with the horse are
an asset to any horse and rider. From Dressage and Jumping to quiet trail rides,
don't just 'sit' on your horse... learn to ride and work in partnership with
your horse.
At the age of two, my Dad took me for my first pony ride. A year later, I was
back on a pony taking my first lesson in Linda Klausner’s backyard. Ever since,
horses have been my life and my love!

I learned the basics as an English rider and started training with Millie Chalk
when I was six years old. Millie opened my eyes and broadened my horizons to
include Hunter/Jumpers, Trail Courses, Barrel Racing, and Three-Day-Eventing.
Thereafter, I focused on Eventing and Hunter/Jumpers.
I became a teenager at the same time I discovered Classical Dressage in a lesson
with Gerhardt Politz. From then on I lived in the English world of Dressage,
Hunter/Jumpers and Three-Day-Eventing. Through the French and German methods
I began to understand that Classical Dressage provides the building blocks for
all equestrian disciplines.
Since then, I have studied, traveled, and competed in the United States and
Europe riding Grand Prix Dressage, Mini-Prix Jumping, and Intermediate Level
Eventing.
I have had the honor and privilege of training with some of the world’s finest
including Axel Steiner, Conrad Schumacher, Jan Ebeling, Walter Zettle, Vi Golding,
Michael Poulin, Victor Hugo-Vidal, Anne Kursinski, Karen O'Connor, Jimmy Williams,
Richard Spooner, Susie Hutchinson, Liz Denny, Wendy Wergeles, Gerhardt Politz
