Horsemanship Academy is a boutique riding school teaching the European traditions of horsemanship at the VEC. Their focus is on the bond between horse and rider, and cultivating skills, confidence, and a balance between instruction and independence. Love and respect for animals are paramount. VEC Dressage Trainer Lena Nordlof-Davis remarks, “This is a wonderful opportunity to come out and observe our students demonstrate their expertise in a schooling show environment while supporting a worthy cause. Many of our young students will advance to the professional level as they hone their skills through these types of shows. We’re honored to have Cauleen judge our students at this event---she has been a Dressage Judge for 32 years and is a retired eventing judge, technical delegate and show steward. She also served as Deputy Director for the1984 LA Olympic three-day event at Fairbanks Country Club.”
