About Karin

Karin's Mission

It is important to me to help you accomplish your goal, whether it's high level competition, riding for pleasure, or just improving the quality of your horse's life!

My goals are:

 

  • Helping riders understand the physical development of their horse.

  • Solving lameness and behavioral issues by creating symmetrical muscular development.

  • Working to improve the rider's position

  • Teaching the rider with training techniques that are comfortable for the horse.

  • Developing the rider’s compassion and better understanding of the horse's needs

  • Helping riders define and achieve their goals

Riding Dressage is like learning how to surf a big wave. You cannot control it; but you can learn how to ride the power and share the moment!!

Karin Bielefeld has been training and teaching since 1970. She has coached riders in hunters, jumpers, dressage and other disciplines, many of whom have competed on the "A" circuits and in breed associations. Karin is dedicated to perfecting the rider’s position and promoting the proper muscular development of the horse. Her 4-point Educational Program also includes saddle fitting and shoeing evaluations.
​
Karin loves to teach and welcomes anyone who loves to learn and apply what they have learned to develop their horse. Show horse or backyard pony, 2-year-old or 30, Karin will treat each horse as an individual with the same care and consideration. She says, “I have learned from every horse I’ve ever worked with. I hope to share with others all the things they have so willingly taught me.”

"I’m truly amazed at how much better I felt in my saddle last night after those exercises!   The way my horse responded was an eye opener!  I very much look forward to next week!"
