Long-term working student positions with Wilhelm Genn and John Hamilton

Trained regularly with Dorothy Crowell, Lexi Myers, Jill Sackett, David Beisel, and Sharon Ridge

Ridden in clinics with Jim Graham, Stephen Bradley, Karen O'Connor, Peter Gray, and Cathy Wieschoff

Ridden through Preliminary eventing and 2nd Level dressage; started and competed many horses through the lower levels of eventing

Opened Fairwind Stables in the summer of 2002

I hope to continue to train towards the top levels of eventing but have a great passion for bringing along young horses and giving them a confident start.

I couldn't do all of this without the support of my parents - my mother, Debbie, who attends nearly every event as groom, supporter, and videographer, and my father, Ted, who has been responsible for the majority of Fairwind Stables improvements over the years from building stalls to building fence - and my husband, Ryan, who has always been very supportive.

"I began working with Amanda when Billy and I were eventing at novice level. We moved up quickly to training level and have our sights set on preliminary level.  Her excellent horsemanship skills, knowledge, and extraordinary teaching ability have enabled Billy and me to dream bigger dreams than we ever anticipated and to be successful at every level!  I work with her on all three phases of eventing - dressage, stadium jumping, and cross country - and she is a excellent trainer of every discipline.  I have upmost faith and trust in Amanda and look forward to future successes with her."
