Paige Barnett

Paige Barnett has been riding and competing Hunter/Jumper horses her entire life, successfully competing on the “A” circuit in Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, California and Texas.

Paige is a graduate of the University of Arizona where she took her horses to school with her to continue showing. In 2003, Paige was recipient of the top 10 Best Young Riders award in Arizona. Paige has continued her education over the years by attending clinics with great coaches such as Dick Carvin, Francie Steinwedell Carvin, Damien Gardner, Bernie Traurig, Linda Allen, and Ragan Roberts.

Paige specializes in the training of the horse as well as the training of the rider. She has experience taking clients and their horses to schooling as well as “A” rated shows, where she has competed anywhere from the baby green hunters to the upper level jumper divisions.

She feels a solid foundation and always going back to the basics are the qualities that create good riders, and emphasizes that riding and training of horse and rider begins before you even sit in the saddle. Paige strives for all her students to learn the deeper connection they can achieve with these animals when they understand that learning to ride is a journey and a process. (Source)
