Lisa Niva, Trainer

Lisa has been riding for 18 years as a very successful amateur on the "A" circuit in Hunters, Equitation and jumper divisions. She has successfully taken many students to the top levels at shows, including year end champions in the A/A hunters, A/O hunters, children's hunters, and A/A jumpers. Her extensive equitation background has produced many winning horse/rider teams, in the medal classes. She was year end circuit champion at Woodside, as well as other numerous champions and reserves in the first year green, second year, regular working, and green conformation hunters. Lisa was tenth USEF Green Conformation Hunters 2004 and fifth Horse Of the Year for USEF in 2005, in the Regular Conformation Hunters. Lisa's philosophy is that students should walk away from a lesson with a feeling of accomplishment, and have fun while learning!
