Andrea Dolleing is a highly respected dressage instructor known for her thoughtful, encouraging teaching style and her ability to help both horses and riders reach their full potential. With experience working with riders from complete beginners through Prix St. Georges competitors, Andrea has a gift for meeting each partnership where they are and developing a clear path for improvement.

She excels at creating exercises that help horses use their bodies correctly, promoting strength, balance, and relaxation while improving the rider's understanding of the biomechanics behind the gaits and dressage movements. Andrea's kind and supportive approach builds confidence in riders while providing practical tools they can immediately apply in their training.

With a keen eye for what makes a dressage test successful, Andrea understands exactly what judges are looking for and how riders can maximize their scores. Her Ride-A-Test sessions offer valuable feedback, effective exercises, and individualized guidance to help every horse and rider team leave feeling more prepared, educated, and inspired.
