Lisa Durbrow

A successful trainer and rider from the mid-west, Lisa brings years of experience to the partnership. Lisa comes from a long and successful career as a trainer and competitor in the Hunter rings as well as 3-day eventing throughout the Mid-West and East. “I could ride anything. I’m not brave, I can just follow directions the horse gives me. It’s a conversation.” She had the good fortune of riding some outstanding horses along the way and receiving training from industry legends like William Steinkraus, Robert Ridland, Lynn Lloyd, Karen Healey, Archie Cox, Hilda Gurney, and Julie Winkel.

Training and Riding duties are shared with business partner and daughter, Cyd Shald – though each of them have a specific expertise. Their working relationship has grown into one of equals, both involved in the key aspects of the business. The team spent 5 years growing the program at San Domenico Riding School, including a national-level IEA team. It was earlier in 2014 when Mother and Daughter left that legacy and started Longview Stables in Nicasio.

When asked what she is most proud of in her career, “that Cyd and I have a great relationship and can work together to empower these young girls.” (Source)
