DRESSAGE WITH CLAUDIA COLEY
Stone Ridge welcomes Claudia Coley each week on Tuesday mornings for private dressage instruction.
Clkaudia is an active FEI competitor who has earned her USF Bronze, Silver and Gold medals. She graduated from the “L” judge program “with distinction” in 1998 and obtained her USDF instructor certification in 2008.
Claudia has been a demo rider for Jane Savoie, and has attended clinics and symposiums with Steffen Peters, Scott Hassler, Robert Dover, Hubertus Schmidt, Conrad Schumacher, Bill Woods, Charlotte Bredahl-Baker, Charles de Knuffy, and Beth and Jennifer Baumert – sometimes as rider, sometimes as auditor, but always as a learner and seeker of knowledge. In addition, Claudia continues to develop as a trainer and instructor by working with Cathy Zappe, USDF certified instructor through 4th level, and Dolly Hannon, USEF “S” judge, on a regular basis. Claudia still goes home to Germany regularly, where she continues to train and expand her knowledge.
In addition to traditional dressage, Claudia has expanded to assist her students with driven dressage and Western dressage.
Contact Claudia at 417-827-9209 for lesson availability.
