Allison brings fifteen years of experience in varied equestrian disciplines, including jumpers, western pleasure and dressage. Her most recent position was with Legacy Hill Farms of Castle Rock, Colorado.<br /><br />Many of the horses Allison has competed have been trainer from the ground up by Allison, including her current competition horse “Regulas 24”. Regulas 24 is a Hanoverian gelding purchased for training 4 ½ years ago. Allison began showing him at 1 level and continues to show him regionally and nationally with scores in the high 70’s from “O” judges.<br /><br />Allison’s training follows the German system. Over the years she has worked and trained with many international competitors including Ulla Salzgerber, Joy Severiens, lars Peterson, Jurgen Hoffman and Bent Jensen. Allison is active in selecting German dressage horses for import. Through her education Allison has come to believe that it is through quiet and patient repetition that a horse and rider reach a common understanding.<br /><br />Allison joins Normandy Farms to continue working with riders of all levels, and has experience teaching children and amateurs following them through every aspect of the dressage experience, from first lessons, to purchasing a horse and ultimately competition. Allison looks forward to training and sales of top class talented dressage horses as the focus of her business, and Normandy Farms is pleased that this caliber of dressage trainer is available to our clients.
