fences, on the trail, and playing games before she found a passion for
dressage riding. She cultivated this passion working as an apprentice
for USDF gold medalist, Anne McKay, gaining experience with a variety of
horses, from green youngsters to advanced school-masters. In 1997,
Janna had her first opportunity to spend a summer as a working student
at the private stables of Hans Riegler, now first head trainer at the
Spanish Riding School in Vienna. Through daily lessons with Herr
Riegler on advanced school-masters and privately owned training
projects, Janna gained firsthand experience in the classical principles
of riding and training. She has since returned for several additional
summers of training with Herr Riegler, and spent the entirety of 2005-06
in Vienna training with him on privately owned horses. For the last 10
years, Janna has provided dressage lessons and training in Vienna, New
York, and now the Twin Cities. Lessons focus on the classical
principles of riding: developing the correct seat and position for
effective delivery of the aids, learning how to ride in harmony with the
horse's natural movements, and applying aids clearly and correctly for
the appropriate dressage figures and movements.
Janna is available for lessons on Sundays. Please e-mail for scheduling info. |
