Sabine Walker Dressage
ABOUT US
Born in Germany, I started riding at the age of 13- learning the basics of Dressage and
building a solid foundation. Throughout my 30 years of riding, I have had the great fortune to work with some
very talented horses and respected trainers. I've trained young horses for the Hanoverian Auction in Verden, Germany,
have shown 3 and 4-year old horses in "Material" classes, incorporated some show- jumping into my career,
received the German Bronze Rider Award* in 1988 and showed successfully through 2nd level, preparing for 3rd when I moved to the US.
People that influenced my riding in Germany :
-Ingelin Pietsch, former 3-day Eventer(CIC) and my great horse sponsor!
-Dr. Ulf Moeller, former Auction rider and now a well-known specialist in the training of the young horse, who has two World titles to his credit.
-Hans- Heinrich Meyer zu Strohen, manager of the riding school of Lower Saxony in Hoya, and an excellent clinician.
-Erika Falk, who was a longtime student of the late Willi Schultheiss, and trained such great horses as
Cindy Ishoys "Dynasty".
Since my move, I've had the opportunity to train a variety of American breeds and attended Clinics with
Mj. Jeremy Beal, Robert Mayer, Kay Meredith and Dagmar Zimmermann.
I am working on a regular basis with Lauren Ball- Tisdale.
