About Lorri Instructor, Trainer, Barn Manager
|
Welcome! I'm Lorri Biamonte of Biamonte Stables. I've been involved with horses since I was a young child. They truly are my passion. I work with horses on a full-time basis now. It's all I do and I love it. I took a little break from horses for a while and pursued a career in health care. I started out with a diploma in nursing, then got my Bachelors of Science in Nursing at Hahnemann University in Philadelphia PA. Finally, I got my Masters of Science degree as a Nurse Practitioner from the University of Pennsylvania, also in Philadelphia PA. It was a very round about, time consuming, expensive, and exhausting path that lead me to realize that all along, I still belonged in the barn (which I am still trying to explain to my husband!). So here I am. I teach and train full-time now. I love working with the people and with the horses. It's hard work, but it's fun. It is very important to me that my clients have a good time, and that they learn safe horse habits and riding skills. The emphasis is on good basics, developing a good balanced seat, and riding with your seat and not your hands. I don't believe in pressuring. Some of my students are very serious about showing, and others just want to be able to have a good time on the trail. It doesn't matter to me- my job is to help each individual reach their goals. As long as they want to have fun doing it, we're fine. I especially enjoy working with people and horses that are new to dressage. I continue to ride, take lessons and show. It's important for instructors/trainers to keep their skills up and to continue to improve as well! You never know everything, and there is always room for improvement. I am a member of the USEF, and the USDF . |
