About Kayla
Kayla is a USDF Bronze and Silver medalist, L Graduate with Distinction, an "r" candidate, and a successful Grand Prix Rider and Trainer. She spent 14 years at Poulin Dressage in Florida under the instruction of Michael, Sharon, and Gwen Poulin. Her education included everything from basic horse care and starting young horses, to training the Piaffe, and how to manage a 49 stall barn. One of Kayla's greatest joys has been training her mare Rapunzel. As a 3 year old Roo was afraid of the world, but over time Kayla gained her trust and Roo has become one of her greatest teachers. In the competition arena the pair have been to the US Dressage Finals twice, placing 2nd in Training Level Open and 3rd in First Level Open. After years of training and trusting the process of how to develop a Grand Prix horse, the pair have successfully competed in the Prix St. George, and are looking forward to competing in the Grand Prix next season.
