Karl Miklola - 5 years: total immersion in dressage theory from a former Oberbereiter of the Spanish Riding School. I took my two horses every few months to Karl for a week to 10 days. I rode my horses and some of his and learned about technique that very few people teach.

Studying in Europe with Gunter Kolb, now head of the Young Rider Olympic Program for Southern Germany, I had a myriad of unusual experiences on a myriad of horses.

Week Long Clinics in the US with
Major Hans Wikne, Swedish Olympic Coach and Walter Christensen, trainer of Louise Nathhorst and mentor to Priscilla Endicott.

Kathy Connelly - Her insights have been consistently helpful. I treasure her clarity of concept, extensive European
background, and personal generosity.
