A good friend of mine will be moving to Chicago this summer to begin a residency in a prosthetics and orthotics clinic in Chicago and would very much like to be able to ride while there.
She has been a working student for dressage and eventing trainers, and is responsible for bringing along my green TB after two trainers made it clear my horse “would never amount to anything”. She did such a good job that she and my horse qualified for the AEC’s at Novice at their 2nd HT ever and first time at Novice! They have done 5 HT’s together and have finished in the ribbons each time. 
In bringing my horse along, she has ridden in a clinic with Boyd Martin and had multiple lessons with Brian Sabo and Buddy Brown (former Olympian in jumpers).
The first horse she started went on to compete in a 1* with her junior owner.
Needless to say, this person is super talented and always, always, always puts the needs of the horse first.
She is also super intelligent with a fun sense of humor.
She is not looking to lease because she will be on a Resident’s salary, which will most likely juuuust keep her afloat in Chicago.
I’m hoping people here will have some good ideas of where she might be able to have opportunities to ride or even teach on occasion. Before she went on to Graduate school she ran the community lesson program at the Stanford Red Barn.
Anyone have suggestions?
Thank you for sharing your experience!
