Karin trains a small group of hard working riders who, for the most part, work with young horses that are being brought along by their owners with Karin working with each of them on the ground.

Karin takes her students to shows starting out at unrated shows held at Hidden Pond Stables in Manorville, NY. Once riders and horses are ready, they start going out to USEF rated shows such as the LIPHA shows, the Garden State Horse Show, and the Hampton Classic Horse Show.

Karin offers quality horses and ponies for sale or lease, matching the mount to the prospective owner. These horses and ponies go on to successful show careers or find success in other disciplines or just as a good friend. For more information, visit the Sales page.

Having spent my life as a horse show "GYPSY" I am glad to have passed that phase of my life. These days, while I enjoy showing, it is no longer the only thing that I aim my students towards.
