About Lisa

In 1993 Lisa began teaching private and group dressage lessons at Linda Zang’s Idlewilde Farm school program as well as taking horses in training and traveling to local farms to give lessons. 

 

 

Lisa won the Maryland Dressage Association Trainer of the Year Award - based on students success for the 2003 show season, Champion and Reserve Champion, Winner of Finals Class at the show and Medals for Rider Achievement with scores of 65% or higher. Lisa was chosen as a demo rider for Hilltop Farm’s Young Horse Training Symposium with Steffan Peters with her 5 y.o. Dutch horse Tai who she purchased in Holland and trained herself,   through 4th level/PSG. Unfortunately an injury ended his career too early.

 

In 2008 Lisa was hired as the Trainer and Manager at Chesapeake Dressage Institute. In 2010 she started Ryder LLC operating out of CDI where she ran a boarding and training business with horses and riders of all levels. 

​

 

Over the years Lisa has had opportunities to clinic and work with some wonderful trainers who have had a great impact on her riding and training philosophy: Linda Zang, Steffen Peters, Kathy Connelly, Uwe Steiner,  Axel Steiner, George Williams,  Scott Hassler and Jan Brons. She is currently traveling to teach at many farms in the area. Please call for more information.
