Training Programs
Trainer Valerie Geist takes an holistic approach to horse and rider training, first evaluating the physical fitness and capabilities of the rider and or horse, and then designing an appropriate program that focuses on health and conditioning first, making it possible for horse and rider to reach their potential without pain or discomfort. Specializing in selecting horses for and training Adult Amateurs, the success of Miss Geist’s program is evident in the show ring. Miss Geist, trained by 5-time Olympian Robert Dover, competes at the FEI Level and utilizes classical methods of training, first focusing on improving the rider’s seat and balance and perfecting the horse’s basic skills of rhythm, relaxation and pureness of the gaits before schooling more advanced movements. She offers full training for horse and rider as well as trailer-in lessons each day for a limited number of students. In addition, Miss Geist makes regular trips to Holland to select and purchase the best quality horses for her clients. References are available upon request.
