History

Established in 2012.

BellaMar Training Stables & Riding School is proud to have the riding school as well as an active training program for horses in need of an education. We have worked with many hunter/​jumpers and eventers; teaching them that there is more than using reins and spurs to get around a course, instead bringing our knowledge of bio-​mechanics to create a balanced and connected horse and rider team. It is a special balance to work with a young horse learning to do its job at the beginning of the day and end with a student learning to canter for the first time and then to spend the summer with both horse and rider at a competition.

Meet the Business Owner

Elizabeth A.

Business Owner

Elizabeth firmly believes that education should never end, and so she started BellaMar to encourage education at every level of horseback riding and training. The utmost goal being that the rider has a balanced effective seat in any discipline that they can continue to develop. She supports this idea by bringing clinicians in weekly, quarterly, and participates in a teacher training yearly. As a balance to the education, riders are also encouraged to compete as that is another facet in training. Elizabeth has shown in the hunter/​jumper arena, on the hunt field in Ireland, and in the dressage ring arena competing through Prix St. Georges.

Elizabeth started teaching in 1995, teaching kids as young as three years old to ride naughty ponies. After graduating from Wheaton College in Massachusetts, she worked for Sandy Howard at American Sporthorse in Santa Cruz. With Sandy she studied the «Bio-​mechanics» of the rider’s seat, specifically in dressage.
