Nancy Smith’s background is classical Dressage, successfully training multiple horses to the Grand Prix Level, and a member of the United States Dressage Bronze Medal Team at the 1989 North American Championships on Felit as well as the Alternate for the 1999 Pan American Games on Etias. Several horses ridden and trained by Nancy have been long listed for the Olympics and World championships with Nancy in the irons, reflecting her talent for riding a wide variety of horses at the Grand Prix Level.

Nancy has trained with some of the greatest dressage masters of our time: Joseph Neckarman, George Walhl, Harry Boldt, Herbert Rehbein, Walter Zettl, Klaus Balkenhol

As a teacher, Smith’s goal is to help the rider gain a better understanding of the skills necessary to train each horse and to understand how the horse reacts and accepts the training.
