Jaralyn is an FEI trainer and competitor, a USEF ‘r’ dressage judge, and has earned her
USDF Gold, Silver and Bronze Medals and Gold Bar for Musical Freestyles. Jaralyn has
trained and shown dozens of horses, many to FEI level and several to Grand Prix. She
operates her boutique training business Finesse Dressage LLC in Virginia from May-
October and Loxahatchee, Florida in the winter months.  Jaralyn joined the professional
team at Wyndham Oaks in 2007, basing her teaching business there for many years, before becoming a Florida “snow-bird”.

Jaralyn now offers online lessons year-round by sending a video for consult, or live
FaceTime or Zoom sessions. Jaralyn also travels to Wyndham Oaks several times during the summers to teach her Maryland-based clients and accepts horses and riders for short-term training “camps” as desired in Virginia and Florida. Jaralyn believes in a systematic approach to developing horses and riders of any level, based on the training scale of classical dressage. Jaralyn has coached over 20 students to their USDF Bronze, Silver or Gold medals. In 20 of the last 23 years, “Team Finesse” has
qualified and competed at USDF Regional Championships, in either New England or the Mid-Atlantic. Jaralyn has also qualified horses and clients for FEI NAYC (2017) and USDF National Finals in Kentucky (2013, 2015, 2016 and 2021).

Jaralyn is a firm believer in continuing her own education working extensively in the last 15 years with the German international coach Conrad Schumacher, former USEF Young Dressage Horse coach Scott Hassler, FEI*** judge William Warren and most recently with USEF Dressage Youth Coach and USDF President, George Williams.
Jaralyn currently competes her self-trained Grand Prix horse Sanford (2005 Hanoverian
gelding Stedinger/Donnerhall), her recent Danish import Solomon V (Sezchuan/Comeback II), as well as several horses for clients. In 2017 and 2018 Sanford and Jaralyn were the East Coast Riders Cup Champions at Grand Prix, at Centerline Events, HITS on the HUDSON and competed at the 2018 and 2019 CDIO***** Dressage at Devon at Grand Prix.
