Hello!
I’m new to the Dressage world in the Midwest and am looking for a quality trainer. Do you have recommendations for a barn/trainer? Thank you!
-Love
Where are you in Minnesota? It is a big state. You should join the Yahoo group tcct list. (I think that is the name). It has all of the Equestrian knowledge in the area.
I am located in Minneapolis.
East or west side of the city?
Kate Phillips Mississippi View Farm in Sauk Rapids. She is fabulous. She comes to Ocala regularly and I have cliniced with her - picked up a few really useful skills. Highly recommended. https://www.missviewfarm.com/
Just sent you a PM
I’d check with Alison Sader Larson - whether she has openings or not, I’d trust her word on other recommendations, too. I met her while she was doing the L program (I was a scribe) and she was very, very nice - and you wouldn’t have known she had so much success as a trainer/rider compared to others based on her humble attitude. But she has a ton of success it seems. (She also graduated with honors, as did that entire class.)
Wanted to add that Kate Phillips is a “R” judge, and I think she is in the S program right now (not sure tho).
