Annie Specht

Annie began riding at the young age of five years old. Growing up she was always looking for opportunities to get extra time in the barn. After dabbling in all the riding seats, she fell in love with jumping. The day after Annie graduated high school, she drove 20 hours to be the barn manager and head instructor at a riding camp in East Aurora New York. She coached 12 girls a week in multiple lessons a day and horse showed every weekend. She has attended many clinics with world renowned trainers and Olympic riders such as Darren Chiacchia, John Staples, Lainey Ashker, Jeff Cook and Daniel Stewart. Annie has demonstrated a wonderful gift of working with young riders and horses with her calm, patient, and kind demeanor. She enjoys working with children and adults and has a unique passion for teaching riding, horsemanship, and horse care to aspiring equestrians. Annie now shares her love of horses with her son Wylder who turns 2 this April. (Source)
