About Elizabeth
Elizabeth is a USDF Silver and Bronze Medalist, with a successful competition record through the Intermediate-1 Level. She incorporates her background in Eventing and a formal education in Psychology and Animal Science to bring out the best in every horse and rider. She is the recipient of The Dressage Foundation 2025 Trip Harting Fund Grant. In her training, she believes that correct fundamentals are paramount for moving up the levels.

After graduate school, Elizabeth spent several years at Cedar Meadow Farm, working for both Alyssa Pitts and Kimberly Mitchell. She regularly trains with Alyssa Pitts and Kari McClain. Over the years, she has had the benefit of learning from some of the “greats” of Dressage and Eventing, including Major Jeremy Beale, Conrad Schumacher, and Robin Hahn.
She is based out of the beautiful Bella Farm in Snohomish, a haven for horses. Elizabeth trains horses and riders of all levels, from beginners through FEI.
"Elizabeth always puts the horse's welfare and comfort first... Elizabeth is kind and patient with her students as well... She is the kind of trainer that you can count on to be there for you and your horses day in and day out."
- Alyssa Pitts
"As a professional, she is personable and easy to work with, always willing to accommodate and assist in any way she can. As a trainer, she holds consistent and high expectations, all while providing the positive support necessary to promote incredible growth for our young rider."

"She was always available to hear my needs, make adjustments, and find solutions. She was an integral part of the rehab process over the course of 7 months when my horses needed hand walking, treadmill training and starting back under saddle. I truly believe that one of the main reasons my horse is sound today, is because of the time and attention Elizabeth took toward his care. I will be forever grateful. Her reliability, consistency, and willingness to work as a team and be successful is what I have always enjoyed and admired about her!”
