Anne lives with her Husband John in Coatesville, PA. with two dogs, three horses, and a nice flock of hens.  She enjoys many horse sports, and especially riding and teaching side saddle. Her background is mainly in Pony Club (graduate “A” from Huntingdon Valley Hunt Pony Club), western equitation and gymkhana, pleasure driving, eventing through Intermediate 3-Day, dressage to Grand Prix level aside and astride. (earning her USDF Bronze and Silver Medals riding side saddle), and foxhunting.  With her mare Goodness Grace, she earned her USDF Gold Medal riding astride in 2020. Her goal for 2021 is the USDF Gold Medal riding side saddle.

 

She grew up in Bucks Co., Pa. on her family’s farm, and spend her youth riding bareback and barefoot- exploring the woods and countryside with a wonderful clan of siblings, cousins and neighborhood friends. She participated in local horse shows riding western and English, eventually joining Huntingdon Valley Hunt Pony Club where she developed a passion for eventing with her homebred QH/Saddlebred pony Monday who ran

Preliminary and was also a good driving pony.

 

As a young woman, she was given the chance to teach local Pony Clubbers, and that blossomed into a lifelong passion for sharing the joy she found with horses with others.   For five years she ran Snipe Hunt Farm, a local riding school on her family farm, with the focus of introducing beginning riders to the world of horses. The ladder of learning that she was introduced to in Pony Club has continued to this day and fuels her passion to improve herself and those around her. She continues to be involved with USPC as a National Examiner.

 

When not riding or showing her favorite horses Rocky and Grace, she enjoys pottery (Blow Horn Pottery), horticulture, historical reenacting (Wild West, Train Robberies and Rendezvous) and without horses, open hearth cooking and baking, traveling and volunteering.  She loves to organize USDF “L” Programs, USEF Judges Programs, and USDF Sport Horse Seminars.  Look for her riding side saddle in 2021 on the centerline with Grace at Grand Prix. #Sidesaddledressagequeen
