Andrea Walling – Western Riding Coach                           "our Wrangler"

 

A ndrea started riding when she was about 7 years old - went from lessons in the basics , to jumping, trails, and lots of day to day horsemanship.

​

She says, "I was lucky to lease a lovely gelding for the summer when I was 14. I was then determined to have my own horse !! I bought my first at 15 years old and have never looked back."

Andrea's teaching career started in 1984. Helping others to achieve their goals while staying safe is a true passion of hers.

She has shown in several disciplines, including pleasure, hunter, halter, and Dressage.

She is a breeder, trainer, and instructor. She has owned 5 farms, of which 2 were show barns and offered boarding, lessons, and summer camps.

Her students showed on the provincial circuit, and she competed for many years at the Royal Winter Fair.

Andrea is certified with the CEF and the CHA.

As a coach, Andrea believes that anyone can become a rider with commitment and patience.

Her main focus as a teacher is to help riders work from the ground , in the saddle, and most importantly, achieve an understanding of the horse and a riding partnership.

​

Andrea says, "My students have always made me proud in whatever path they chose, but my proudest moments have been to watch my daughter Vicky , who is now a Grand Prix Dressage rider and competitor, so the horses are definitely in the family !"
