Sharon Cooper
Sharon trained as a Dressage rider with Darcy Miller in Pennsylvania and has shown in Dressage, but her true passion was in helping the horse and because an equine massage therapist and then a saddle fitter. Years of working in the field and putting all the pieces together Sharon saw so that to be a good team of horse and rider, the riders balance and cues are very important. Sharon has spent time with Sean Patrick and he taught her to make your cues as light as possible so that have become the main focus and to have the horse and rider be on the same page. Sharon offers lessons for beginner and intermediate riders by appointment.
