Hunters ~ Jumpers ~ Equitation
~ Eventing ~ Dressage
In
1969 Rob started his journey with horses and has been around them
all of his life. He has worked with horses and clients and has
helped many to compete successfully: Ponies, children’s, juniors,
adults and intercollegiate riding teams. Rob has shown hunters,
jumpers and eventing. This has included teaching/coaching young to
mature riders to win, compete successfully and learn with their
horses. He has also trained, imported and brokered some of the top
show horses in the country.
In 1994 he opened Summit Oak Farm
and created a high quality lesson program, training facility and
sale barn. He designed the farm for both rider and horses in mind;
he believes a very important part of the sport to be “safety for
both horse and rider”.
In developing Summit Oak Farm,
Rob states “I wanted to create an environment that is hands on with
riders and low stress for horses”. Rob will individualize your
riding program to suit your needs and abilities. Rob will make
learning fun, he has a great sense of how to make a horse and rider
work their best together. The base is Equitation: (form &
function). Rob has an uncommon ability to match horse and rider, a
rare gift. Rob has it! Importing some to the top competing horses in
the country, he knows what it takes and how to find a horse to match
your individual need and riding level. Rob has many contacts
throughout the United States, European Union and United Kingdom and
carefully shops for the best suited horses for varied disciplines.
Rob says: “When a horse and rider
work together it creates a bond that can’t be matched”. |
