Valerie is a trainer and clinician with 20 years professional experience, over 30 years of hands on experience and has had the privilege of teaching people from all over the world in a variety of disciplines. Although Valerie prefers to be the strength behind the scenes, aka "The "Trainers Trainer," she has competed up to the Grand Prix level in both Show Jumping and Dressage and has competed up to the World level in Western Pleasure, Hunter Under Saddle and Reining. Her greatest gift is the ability to teach others using compassion and support while acting as a catalyst to bridge the gap in communication between horse and rider.
