Jim and I are excited to announce that John Lee Amber has been hired as trainer for our farm.  He comes to us from Germany where he has spent the last 8 years working as a rider/trainer at such places as Gut Fuchtel (Vechta), Gestuet Sprehe (Loningen-Benstrup), and at Johannes Westendarp's farm in Wallenhorst.  While there, he had the opportunity to ride stallions to prepare for the stallion tests and exhibitions, and to ride young horses for sale and mares to prepare for their mare tests.  He is originally from VT.  While here in the states, he worked for Huntington Farm, South Strafford, VT and for Ruth Hogan-Poulsen in Wellington, FL.  His rider accomplishments in the US include USDF Bronze and Silver medals, participation in the North American Young Riders Championships, and high scorer for the NAYRC region 8 Team qualifiers, and NEDA 4th Level year end Champion.

John is a gifted, tactfull rider who will ride the young horses here on the farm as well as continue the education of Shakespeare RSF and Fhitzgerald, hopefully aiming them for an FEI career in dressage. We are thrilled to have him as our new employee.
