Barbara Strawson Becky Langwost Barlow Jaralyn Finn
In addition to outside clinicians, we are pleased to have three exceptional equestrians, Rebecca Langwost-Barlow, Barbara Strawson and Jaralyn Finn, working with us.
► Barbara Strawson
Barbara studied in Germany under Nicole Uphoff, four-time Olympic gold medallist. During this time she trained and competed horses in dressage at all levels from Training through Grand Prix. Barbara was assistant trainer at Hilltop Farm, Colora, MD from 1990 to 2003 where she competed to the FEI levels.
An experienced instructor, Barbara combines her experience and knowledge of riding skills with her background in psychology to develop individualized programs for horses and riders. As an instructor she is dedicated to helping individuals achieve their own excellence, regardless of the level. She co-authored My Riding Goals Journal and Equestrian Instruction, two books dedicated to improving personal performance in riding and instruction.
She is a USDF Bronze and Silver Medalist, has earned Year-end regional and national USDF and USEF awards, and rode on the Bronze Medal Team at the 1985 American Young Riders Championships. For more information, visit Barbara's website at www.barbarastrawson.com.
► Becky Langwost-Barlow Becky is a USDF certified instructor through 4th level. Winner of the first Lunquist dressage scholarship, Becky trained in Germany with the late Reiner Klimke. She currently competes her own FEI and young horses and has the distinction of being the only rider in our region to win the finals on the same horse at both Prix St. George and I-1 in the same year. She is a USDF Gold Medalist and travels extensively on the East Coast as a clinician.
Becky schedules lessons on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays; however, other times may be available depending on her show and clinic schedule. For more information on training with Becky, please contact Linda Crivella by e-mail or at 301-299-4019.
► Jaralyn Finn
Formerly an eventer and equitation competitor, Jaralyn's interest in dressage became permanent when she worked as an assistant to USET dressage team rider and World Cup representative Arlene "Tuny" Page in the 1990's.
Jaralyn qualified horses for USDF Regional Championships at Training, First, Third and Prix St. Georges. Her students include juniors and adulsts competing in dressage from Intro to Prix St. George. She is a USDF Bronze and Silver medalist and is a candidate in the USDF "L" judge proram. She currently competes Alexandra Dane's Darius at Prix St. George and Intermediare I.
As a trainer, Jaralyn strives to increase the harmony between horse and rider, helping them to maximize their potential. For more information, visit her website at www.finessedressage.com
