Jeremy Steinberg made his first appearance at a national venue in 1996 at the USDF Young Rider Championship where he earned individual Gold and helped to win the Team Silver for Region 6.  Since then, he has gained much attention in regional and national dressage press as “one to watch” among world class US competitors.  He has been featured by numerous magazines over the years.  For more than a dozen years, Jeremy trained with the late Dietrich von Hopffgarten.  Jeremy also rode at the Gestut Vorwerk in Germany, training with Martina and Raif Hannover, long time pupils of the late Herbert Rehbein.  Jeremy now trains annually with Guenter Seidel and USET  Coach Klaus Balkenhol, along with Debbie Mcdonald whenever the opportunity arises.  Jeremy teaches daily lessons to riders of all levels, as well as riding up to 10 horses a day, training and showing horses from Training Level through Grand Prix. Jeremy enjoys teaching, emphasizing an environment conducive to learning classical dressage and good horsemanship.  His goal is for students to understand the basic philosophies of dressage, enabling them to work successfully with their own horses.

Shauntel Bryant has been very successful in local and regional shows, bringing home numerous championships. In early 2008 Jeremy and his partner Shauntel combined businesses and formed Steinberg-Bryant Dressage. Jeremy and Shauntel currently operate their business at KGF Equestrian in Kirkland Washington and teach a wide range of horses and riders of all levels and breeds.

We are very pleased to announce that the State of Jefferson Chapter will continue to sponsor clinics with Jutta Schott in 2012.

We have three weekends of clinics:

• April 14-15
• May 26-27
• August 11-12

The clinics are being hosted at the riding facility of Destinations End in Talent, OR

Jutta has excellent credentials for dressage instruction. She has been a professional rider and trainer since 1968. She received her training in Germany and is licensed by the German National Equestrian Federation to teach and train both horse and rider through FEI level.

Jutta received the title Bereiter in 1972 authorizing her to train and teach through second level. She was certified “Reitleher FN” in 1981 which authorized her to train both horse and rider through FEI levels. This certification was earned in Warendorf, Westphalia and is awarded only upon completion of vigorous courses of study and demonstrated riding ability.

Jutta also holds the German Bronze and Silver medal. After teaching and competing in Germany, Jutta and her mare went to Vienna, Austria, where she spent seven years as an assistant trainer at the stable of Arthur Kottas,Chief Rider of the Spanish riding school of Vienna. While in Vienna, Jutta continued to train and compete her mare until she sold her at the FEI level. Jutta also received her Austrian Instructor’s license.

Jutta’s training methods are true classical dressage. She formulates a systematic instruction plan for each of her students based on the training scale and on the individual needs of rider and horse. Ever aware that only a good seat correctly influences the horse, Jutta emphasizes seat and position and how and when to apply the aids. Horse and rider biomechanics are an integral part of every lesson. She welcomes lower level riders and their horses as this gives her the opportunity to begin development of correct basics without which there is no foundation upon which to develop the upper level work.

Jutta is equally at home with the rider who wants to compete or with the rider who simply wants to ride well. The success of the German riders in the international dressage arena and the fame of the Spanish Riding School in Vienna speak for themselves. Jutta comes well credentialed and well qualified and for her own continued education she is a member of the association of professional trainers and instructors.

Jutta lives and teaches in Southern California. Her students are competing successfully at all levels. Jutta teaches clinics in Montana, Nevada, Northern California and Southern Oregon.
