Michelle von Schmidt-Pauli instructs riders on how to “ride better” by communicating with their horses through dressage principles, bio-mechanics and gymnastic exercises.  She welcomes all breeds and disciplines.  Training is kept relaxed with an emphasis placed on developing the understanding between the horse and rider producing a solid foundation that will improve any discipline.

Michelle teaches throughout Virginia and Southern Maryland. Please contact her to schedule a lesson at your farm or trailer-in to one of the offsite locations she teaches at around your area.​

“The horse is your mirror. He never flatters you. He reflects your temperament.  He also reflects your ups and downs. Don’t ever be angry with your horse: you might as well be angry with your mirror”
