• Riding Lessons: Our lesson program is the heart of our business and is designed to be a positive and supportive learning experience for all riders. We offer private and group lessons in the disciplines of dressage, eventing, and jumping, and our instructors specialize in teaching children and young adult riders. However, adult riders are always welcome!

Our Team

Our team of trainers and instructors are all passionate about building a positive and supportive learning community for our riders.

She is joined by her daughter, Kaitlyn Conner, an experienced trainer, riding instructor, and manager, and Gretchen Fuchs, our Pre-Eventer Program coordinator and trainer.

Our Philosophy

At Conner Combined Training, we believe that riding should be a positive and supportive experience that helps build confidence and a love for horses. Our program emphasizes a team atmosphere in which older riders mentor younger ones, and everyone works together to help and support one another. We are all about positivity, and everything a rider can learn from that special relationship only horses can provide. Our program doesn't just create successful riders; we create successful people!
