Riana is resident Trainer at Sanbar Dressage in Petaluma where horses are Managed as a Herd, Treated as an Individual. A USDF Gold Medalist Grand Prix rider, she is recognized for beautiful movements and demonstration of the coveted harmony between horse and rider — but she knows it is the process not the destination. As a trainer, coach, and instructor, she teaches the patient approach of listening and observing, teaching riders to have The Conversation: Focus on fluid, clear communication in the language you and your horse learn; Precise timing of applied pressure and release to allow horse — and rider — to relax into mutually fulfilling work; Patience to create strong correct basics — even while addressing the most complicated movements.
