Natalie Guginsky

A Long Island native, Natalie began riding at age 9. By 11 she was competing in the Big Eq (hunter jumper) through her junior years. Natalie spent many years training and coaching alongside Patty Messina with First Edition Farm. She helped numerous young and adult riders enjoy riding, showing and horsemanship.

She has been very involved in her daughter Jessica’s riding career for the past 12+ years. Starting from leadline, through the 3’6” divisions. Her biggest joy is watching Jessica grow as a rider. Jessica has now committed to the University of Georgia and will be on their D1 riding team beginning fall 2021.

Natalie began teaching at Skye Acres in 2016, and has been coaching the IEA Skye Acres team since 2017. She takes pride in her involvement and hearing all the team kids call her “Coach.” (Source)
