Meghan Michaels - Dressage
Meghan Michaels is a USDF Bronze, Silver and Gold medalist dressage trainer based out of Summerwood Stables in Palm City, FL.
Originally from New Hampshire, Meghan began riding at the age of 4 and went on to compete on the Arabian circuit, winning multiple championships across multiple disciplines. She went on to attend the University of New Hampshire earning a degree in Equine Animal Science, and in 2001 was accepted into the International Academy for Equestrian Studies in Warendorf Germany.
After her time in Germany, Meghan apprenticed under several Olympians and Olympic trainers, such as Karl Mikolka and Alex Chertba. This brought her to Maryland for 16 years where she managed her own successful dressage training and sales operation, bringing her down to Wellington, FL each winter to compete for the season.
Meghan achieved her Bronze, Silver, and Gold medals on self-produced mounts, and currently imports high-end dressage horses from Germany to continue developing, compete, and sell as she takes great pride in finding the perfect match for her sales horses and developing horses and riders in a safe and fun environment.
With over 25 years of teaching, Meghan enjoys helping riders to develop trust and form a true partnership with their horses. She understands that true harmony requires a balanced and independent seat, focusing on the rider's core.
Meghan has a positive, kind, and most of all a fun training approach for both horse and rider, accommodating all levels and breeds.
She loves to help her students reach their goals, with many achieving their USDF medals and several placings in USDF Championships over the years.
