Training
Lisa began riding
as a child with nationally
recognized Hunter/Jumper trainer Wayne Carroll. As
an adult she continued with Dressage coaching by
FEI competitors, nationally acclaimed clinicians,
Olympian Lendon Grey, and British clinician/author
Mary Wanless. She also gleaned teaching tools from
auditing clinics with Olympians Carol Lavell and
Michael Poulin, and through scribing for
International Dressage Judge, Max Gahwyler.
Lisa is the
first U.S. coach accredited in Mary
Wanless's "Ride With Your Mind"TM technique.
Lisa co-teaches with Mary semi-annually. She
recertifies her accreditation every 2 years in the U.K. at Wanless's
home base.
