An accomplished FEI Grand Prix Rider, Trainer and Coach. Ashley brings classical training to ALL equestrian disciplines. A good seat, balance, and a bond with the horse are an asset to any horse and rider. From Dressage and Jumping to quiet trail rides, don't just 'sit' on your horse... learn to ride and work in partnership with your horse.
"Learn to speak the same language and thus create an unbreakable bond and an incredible companion vs. just a ride. We have cars to 'just ride' " – Ashley Pallin
"At the age of two or so, my Dad took me for my first pony ride. A year later, I was back on a pony taking my first lesson in Linda Klausner’s backyard. Ever since, horses have been my life and my love! I learned the basics as an English rider in a Pony Club when I must have been just about six years old. Pony Club opened my eyes and broadened my horizons to include Hunter/Jumpers & Equitation, Trail Courses, Barrel Racing, Three-Day-Eventing, and Dressage. Thereafter, I focused on Eventing and Jumpers.
I became a pre-teen at the same time I discovered Classical Dressage in a lesson with a very respected European Dressage Trainer. From then on I lived in the English world of Dressage, Hunter/Jumpers and Three-Day-Eventing. The deeper I studied the disciplines, the more it became clear that CLASSICAL dressage was truly the basis and building blocks of all equestrian disciplines! Take Sharon Camarillo for example, a Pro Barrel Racer who's assistant is a Dressage Rider! I've learned by combining the good of both the French and German Classical training methods,
I have been able to truly help a plethora of people! I have studied and traveled internationally. Successfully competing myself in Dressage, Jumping, and Eventing. I have had the honor and privilege of training with some of the world’s finest including Olympic Judges, Olympic Riders, Top Coaches, Clinicians and Masters. But the greatest teacher of all was my horse who taught me how to listen instead of always doing the talking."– Ashley Pallin
