About Francie
Francie has always had a strong love for horses and started riding at a very young age. Being the owner/manager of Stirling Farm for 25 years, Francie has bred quality sport horses and maintained a healthy environment in which to develop a happy, healthy athlete at her farm. She has been coaching dressage riders for many years and has competed through Prix St. George. She has worked for many years with Heather Blitz and Mary Wanless and continues to host clinics with both of these excellent trainers and coaches.
Francie's Training Philosophy
Francie coaches riders with the goal of teaching correct biomechanics. The need to be causal instead of reactive, understanding the complete circuit through the horse's and the rider's body. The need for balance not conflict. Having the belief that the rider’s feedback is very important to accomplish the necessary building blocks for learning and create harmony between the horse and rider.
