Andrea Doelling
Andrea’s approach to teaching is from the point of view of most adult amateur riders. She was “one of us” for most of her riding career, but was then fortunate enough to dedicate herself to horses full-time starting in 2005. From her humble beginnings, Andrea can draw upon the common frustrations adult amatures face in moving through the levels in dressage. She is a consummate competitor and can help with show strategies and has the utmost compassion and respect for our equine partners.
