Pam has spent a lifetime in the horse business. She dedicated herself first to learning, and then teaching the art and craft of horsemanship. Captain Vladmir S. Littauer and Clayton Bailey, both early proponents of the forward seat style of riding, influenced her development as a master trainer. Her clients range from pony riders to junior hunters and adult amateurs.

Pam's Philosophy as a Trainer
"If my horses and riders look happy and relaxed and are also winning, then I am doing my job as a trainer." She goes on to say, "I feel very passionately that my clients can be more than just riders; that they should strive for excellence in horsemanship as well." According to Pam, winning is the natural by-product of good riding and good horsemanship. "I start with the basics and help my riders develop a system of true communication with their horses. They end up with a deep empathetic relationship with their horses as well as the physical skills needed to compete at the very highest levels."
