Our Trainers/Riding instructors

"I embarked on my equestrian journey in 1975 at a state boarding riding academy and Olympic reserve school. Under the guidance of esteemed coaches like German Gazyumov, Lev Baklyshkin, and Ivan Kizimov (an Olympic champion), I cultivated my skills and passion for riding. By 1985, I had earned qualifications for the World Championship. Following this, I ventured into international movie shots as a stuntman, showcasing my talents on horseback. I then pursued formal education at the Temiriaev Academy, specializing in horsemanship under the guidance of Coach Sergey Dyomin from 1988 to 1989. In 1994, I moved to the United States, eager to immerse myself in the American equestrian culture. At Centenary College, I delved into American equine studies and horse management, laying the foundation for my career in the U.S. equestrian community. In the early 2000s, I had the privilege of working alongside renowned horseman Frank Chapot, contributing to the training and preparation of horses for the US team. Since then, I have operated as an independent trainer, sharing my expertise and passion for horses with riders of all levels.

I offer training in eventing, show jumping, and dressage, specializing in horse training, addressing problem horses, and starting young horses. With a wealth of experience spanning decades and continents, I remain dedicated to helping riders and horses achieve their fullest potential in the world of equestrian sports."

"Stepping into the equestrian world at just 5 years old, I knew I had found my passion. Spending countless hours in the barn has only deepened my love for horses, and now, my greatest joy is sharing that passion with others. Whether you're a beginner or looking to refine your skills, I'm here to support you every step of the way. Tailoring to every individual, I strive to build confidence and empower my riders to reach their individual goals."
