Norma Richards

Norma has a special talent for taking local horses and riders and turning them into A circuit champions and accomplished competitors. Her students have dubbed her “the best kept secret in the northwest”. She started out 3-day eventing in the late 70’s and early 80’s and was consistently in the ribbons at the Open Preliminary level while competing throughout the northwest, including California and Canada. A highlight of her eventing career was competing and placing in the West Coast Olympic Screening Trials.

From the early 80’s until present her emphasis has been on riding and training hunters and jumpers. However, she still relies heavily on her extensive dressage background to train her horses and teach her students. She has trained many local and inexpensive horses to be hunter and jumper champions. She has produced winners from baby-green hunters to the 4’6″ jumper divisions, up and down the west coast, including Spruce Meadows, Indio and Arizona. (Source)
