The Trainer Deanna Landwehr has trained, ridden and competed in numerous equestrian disciplines, but her true passion is for dressage. Deanna has been training, instructing and competing in the sport of dressage since 1986. She has competed successfully at all levels and has earned numerous high percentage and high point awards as well as regional and national level awards. She earned her USDF Gold Medal in 2000 by competing successfully at Grand Prix on a horse which she trained from breaking in at 3 years of age. After honing her skills for the past 20 years, she currently trains and competes at the FEI level. She is always kept busy coaching and instructing, traveling for clinics, riding and operating the farm.

Deanna is experienced with all aspects of basic training, training the young or green horse, developing the dressage horse thru all medium level movements and finishing the FEI horse to his/her maximum potential always keeping in mind the Classical Training Scale. All training is done on the premise that the rider's independent seat is the most important element needed to allow the horse to work in self carriage and relaxation. She is experienced and willing to work with all breeds of horses and all levels of riders. She also uses dressage basics in the development of working western horses.
