Our Amateur Equine & mascot Rocket Man is a 5 year old Canadian Warmblood gelding, imported into the USA as an unbroken two year old in 2014.  He’s spent the past two and a half years in training to become a competitive upper level, amateur dressage horse, and most recently has begun to enjoy his cross-training over fences.

Rocket’s journey, and the challenge and learning process of working with and riding a young horse, along with his owner’s dedication to learn and improve and to be the best owner/rider she could be, was the inspiration that spurred the launch of Amateur Equestrian… a place where amateur riders could learn, grow, connect, find the information they need, and share their struggles and triumphs with others on their path to being outstanding and accomplished equestrians.
