From a young age Ian has been passionate about horses. Originally from a hunter/jumper background, at 14 Ian discovered dressage and never looked back. Born and raised in California’s San Francisco Bay Area, Ian rode with top trainers with a focus on rider position and biomechanics. After working for some of the best in California, Ian moved to New Jersey in 2018 to work with International riders Shannon Stevens and Marcus Orlob where he finessed his skills in correct and classical training methods. His Wellington debut in the winter of 2019 earned two blue ribbons and scores in the 70s with his up and coming young horse Hermann Heine.
Clear and consistent training are at the forefront of Ian’s methods. He believes that kindness and fair training produce the best results for both horse and rider. Ian loves teaching as much as he does riding. Setting goals and creating plans for success for both horse and rider are close to his heart, as he loves watching riders and horses reach their top potential. The care and wellbeing of the horse are always the highest priority and custom care programs are available.
