Brady Equestrian Center ~ Lessons

Jorden writes: "I've been riding horses for several years. My riding career began taking beginning lessons at a therapeutic riding center. I quickly moved up to taking my first jumping lessons with Julie Pickering, who won the 2002 AMHA Youth of the Year Award. Upon moving to Minnesota, I was introduced to the world of warmbloods. I began taking lessons with Margot Brady and studying the art of dressage. Soon after, I purchased my first horse, a beautiful and sassy race-trained thoroughbred. Our first year of showing was very successful, included winning our first class in eventing, which was new to both of us.

I've participated in several clinics with instructors Ann Clemedtson and Lisbeth Bengtsson focusing on dressage and Dominic Schramm, David Denton, and Heather Salden-Kurtz focusing on eventing. I've enjoyed working with a variety of horses, including learning from Swedish Warmblood school masters, training a welsh pony to drive, a Norwegian Fjord to jump, and breaking out young thoroughbreds. I've since begun giving lessons to children and adults in beginning lessons including flat work, jumping and western riding. I enjoy the challenge of helping each rider and their horse improve their connection and performance."
