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.
