Hi All, I am a re-rider with some pretty hefty goals living in the Bay Area of California. I competed through the 1.30m as a junior and took some time off then recently got back into riding when I moved up here in the last year. I spent my junior career on the other side of the country, so I am unfamiliar with the scene here. I am looking for someone to get me and my new horse to the Grand Prix level. This is likely a goal that will take 2-3 years minimum- I understand that and am prepared to pay for training and showing to achieve this goal. I am concerned the trainer I have right now may not have the experience or program to get us there, even though I love them, so I want to do some recon and was wondering if you have any recommendations for top level show barns that do A/AA level shows and have experience bringing amateurs and juniors up through the Grand Prix level? I would prefer East or North Bay, not super interested, nor is it convenient to get to South Bay for me. If I can provide any further details, please let me know. Thank you in advance.
Also, I know there are threads out there on Bay Area H/J trainers, but I was unable to find a thread with someone that was looking for the same thing as I am, but if I missed it, my apologies.
