Freelance Riding Instructor and Trainer Debbie Freedman has owned and ridden horses for over 30 years, working with them on a professional level for the past 15 years. Along with teaching and training, she has also enjoyed foxhunting for many years. Deb began by doing local hunter schooling and open shows, eventually progressing to dressage and eventing. Her love of the details of riding and training horses, led her in the direction of teaching and training professionally.

Debbie has competed in eventing to novice level, shown and trained horses in dressage thru 3rd level, and has experience jumping to 4 foot. She is Massachusetts licensed & insured, and specializes in dressage and jumping lessons, providing a structured system of riding and training for both horse and rider.

Her students enjoy competing in many local competitions including dressage, eventing, hunter schooling shows, and local jumper shows.

Debbie has completed lessons and clinics with Marina Genn and Jan Ebeling. She also rode for 2 years with Darrin Lawrence at Riverfront Farm in Concord, MA. Darrin generously offered Debbie his own horse Lily, an 8 yr old Hanoverian mare, who was schooling Prix St George, to ride several days a week. This gave her a great opportunity to school on her own.

Debbie currently trains with FEI trainer Maria Harrington a.k.a. Northern Light Dressage and has ridden with Maria for the past 2 years. She has also worked closely for Maria as a working student gaining daily opportunities to ride many different horses, mid-level thru Grand Prix.

Maria also leased her horse Gucci, a 17 year old Dutch Gelderlander, to Debbie for a year. Gucci is a fantastic schoolmaster having been trained and competed successfully by Jan Ebeling at Intermediare 1, and trained through Grand Prix. Gucci taught Debbie all the details of feel that a trainer can only describe.

Though all of her teachers are wonderful, Gucci has by far, been the greatest of all!
