Liz de Kock

Raised in England, Liz brings a unique blend of riding techniques to her teaching. She has a broad spectrum of experience from Pony Club, trail riding and cross country to skills acquired in Southern Africa where she built The Pines Riding Center. Here she held camps and equestrian events, and expanded her programming to include vaulting, endurance riding and therapeutic riding.

Upon moving to the US Liz continued to follow her personal passions of dressage, therapeutic riding and equestrian vaulting on the west Coast. Liz trained with prominent Olympic riders and trainers, starting horses and developing them up to the Grand Prix level. She taught dressage to Hunter and Show Jumpers and eventing competitors to improve their flat work for over twenty years. In recent years Liz deepened her involvement in therapeutic riding. As Director of Equine Services at Hearts & Horses, she combine her talents of training and teaching to expand the herd and mentor instructors.

Her chief passion remains Classical Dressage, which she interweaves into all her teaching. (Source)
