Teri's passion in life has always been working with horses. She started owning and training horses at the age of nine. She has ridden multiple disciplines throughout the years due to her father being transferred around the world in his military career. These disciplines include western pleasure, gymkhana events, hunter jumpers and eventing. Now for the last 23 years she specializes in the sport of dressage.

Over the years she has managed her own business teaching lessons, training, and selling horses. She has bred and raised several of her own show prospects. She enjoys helping clients bring their own horses up through the levels. Teri has shown several young horses successfully in the Young Horse program and has been invited to participate in the young horse programs. She has personally trained with many of the top professionals in the dressage field, including Klaus Balkenhol, Steffen Peters, Kathleen Raine, Debbie McDonald, Shirley Rector, Gina Smith and Leslie Reed.

She is currently working with Christine Traurig. She has been on the Developing Riders list and has participated at Gladstone at the Intermediare 1 Championships. She has earned her USDF Bronze, Silver and Gold medals. Although her profession requires a dedicated work ethic, her love for the sport makes it easy for her to consider it a pleasure.
