About our Presenter & Trainer: Sandra Beaulieu

  • USDF Bronze & Silver Medalist
  • USDF "L" Graduate with distinction
  • MDS Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum Medalist
  • Masters Graduate of the Isaac Royal Academy of Classical Dressage
  • Bitless Bridle Instructor Appointed by Dr. Cook
  • Numerous year-end awards through EMDA, MDS, and NEFHC
  • Equine Coordinator and Actress in indie films Essential Realism & Falcyyr

I began my formal training at the Isaac Royal Academy of Classical Dressage when I was 13 years old. My coach, Carolyn Rose, runs a European-style riding program that gives students the opportunity to train horses from the day they are born to the upper levels of dressage. In 2009 I graduated the Masters Program having competed to Grand Prix and training numerous horses to Fourth Level and above. It was during this training program that I earned my MDS and USDF Rider Medals on horses that were owned by Carolyn.

I have also been a working student for FEI "C" Judge Gabriel Armando in Wellington, FL and ridden in  clinics with Jodie Kelly, Kim Schissler, Heidi Herriott, Kathy Connelly, and Sarah Jane Clarke. I also had the wonderful opportunity to ride at the Escola de Equitacao de Alcainca in Portugal under the instruction of Georges Malleroni.
