MEET THE TRAINERS,
ELISABETH JENNER
age » 26
teaches » Hunters/Jumpers/Dressage/Cross Country/Eventing
years of experience » 21 years
requirements » Prefers taking serious, advanced riders, or riders who are intent on reaching the highest competition levels. Occasionally substitutes for the other trainers. As long as you do what she tells you and don't talk back to her, she should be nice. You must also be open to riding other horses, as she may throw you on one of hers occasionally. She also trains horses, so if she thinks your horse could benefit from it, she'll say so, and will probably require it.
personality » Beth can be abrasive, she's not going to mollycoddle you, if she thinks you're being an idiot or something she'll say so. The woman knows her stuff, so you're probably better off listening to her. If she thinks you're wasting her time, she'll transfer you to another trainer.

BROOKE ALVAREZ
age » 23
teaches » Dressage/Eventing/Show jumping
years of experience » 15 years
requirements » None, takes all riding levels
personality » Brooke isn't necessarily hard on her students, however she does expect them to work hard and she'll push them as hard as she thinks they can deal with. She can be pretty strict but mostly tends to give praise where praise is due. She is usually fine if she can see the student is trying and doesn't have any problems with demonstrating something if they really aren't getting it.
