Centered Riding, Balanced Seat and
Dressage Riding Lessons with

 Carla Adinaro

Children and Adults Welcome

Ms. Adinaro enjoyed hunting with Rombout and being a successful competitor in the show ring since 1960. Her passion for horses has lead her down the path to become a well-respected riding instructor.  Carla teaches her rider's the skills to communicate clearly and effectively with the horse in order to enable them to achieve a partnership and perform like a team, whether in the show ring or on the trails, with Centered Riding, Balanced Seat and Dressage.  This goal ensures that the horse has confidence in his rider and thereby becomes a safer horse to ride.

With a formal education including a B.A. in Biology and a B.S. in History, Ms. Adinaro is certified by the ARIA (American Riding Instructor Association) in Dressage and has successfully completed the Pace University Riding Instructor course. Ms. Adinaro has had the pleasure of training with some of the finest horse people,  Micheal Poulin (Olympian medalist); Janet Black ( trained/taugh to FEI levels); Emily Gershberg (USDF certified instructor to Fourth level); Lendon Gray (Olympian medialst) and Mary Straz (trained/taught to the FEI levels).
