Since the day she could walk, Andrea has been riding and loving horses. Her first ponies were meticulously groomed and pampered, as are her horses today.

She began her showing career at the age of six on her pony, Daffodil winning Grand Champions at the local fairs. By the age of 11 she had earned her bronze medal on her brood mare Desdemona. She and Desi wowed audiences with their freestyle and were even written up in the Chronicle of the Horse for their impressive scores and wins.

Andrea’s next great partner would be Rusti a goofy, gangly gelding who Andrea with the help of her mother has trained to Grand Prix from the beginning.

Andrea earned her silver medal at age 19 and recieved her gold medal in 2007. She and Rusti have had much success at FEI levels with many regional championships, all-breed awards and high points.  In 2008 Andrea passed the "L" Judge program through USDF and now judges regularly for the 4H and Pony Club events as well as the Black Raven schooling shows. She plans to move on to the "r" program and begin judging A rated shows.

In 2006 Andrea started Lindoro, Half-Trak Farm's Holsteiner stallion, under saddle. He is making incredible progress and is everything she ever hoped. Raising him from birth, Lio has always been the one worth waiting for.

Andrea has worked under the supervision of Jenny, her mother, since day one but has also trained under Henrik Johannsen since age 11, Dietrich VonHopfgarten for many years, including a working student position at Dietrich’s farm in Langley, most currently Barbara Koot of Holland and Janet Brown-Foy an International judge.  She also has been clinicing regularly with Conrad Schumacher for the last three years.

Currently Andrea is training numerous horses from babies to FEI. She has much experience working with difficult, young, or hot horses as well as stallions. Her approach to training is methodical, classical yet modern, and of course, always fair to the horses. Andrea also has many students competing at many different levels. She plans to continue her training and hopefully represent our country someday in competition.

Jenny Lucianna has ridden horses all of her life. As a kid she was unable to own a horse but instead borrowed horses to ride in the towns she grew up in. She has always been a strong, fearless rider which led her to jump a car on a dare at the age of eleven, but Jenny's riding education began in 1973 in Oak Harbor.

Jenny rode in the first Dressage show ever in the Northwest with three competitors. In 1974 she moved to Seattle and began weekly riding lessons with Klaus Albin until weeks before his death in 1997. After Klaus's death Jenny began working with Henrik Johansen, Dietrich VonHopfgarten, and Leslie Reid.

Jenny developed her base for dressage with Klaus but went on to become a very successful horse trainer with Dietrich and Leslie. She has worked with many world famous clinicians over the years but credits these three for her understanding and skill in developing young horses through FEI.

Jenny rode many stallions over the years including a Furioso II son, with many offspring still in the Northwest, until his young death. She would truly find her partner though in a dutch warmblood gelding named Marco (Jenny's husband's name is Mark, he was on vacation to come home to a new horse, so the name was an icebreaker). Jenny trained Marco through Grand Prix and successfully showed him through Intermediare II with many wins and high scores in the FEI ring.

Jenny has expressed many times how much she has always loved the training process and takes pride in doing the job herself. Jenny's philosophy is to build the horse's confidence and skill through patience and always focusing on the basics of Dressage. Jenny and Andrea have trained and re-trained many young or problem horses over the years and enjoy the process of Dressage training.

Jenny is available for clinics only.
