Your Judge
Eileen Keller
Eileen has over 30 years riding experience, 23 of those being dedicated to dressage. Never having the opportunity to purchase a trained horse, she has found success on a wide variety of breeds and specialized in the development of young, green, or difficult horses.
A USDF āLā Graduate, Eileen earned her USDF Bronze Medal on her very first horse, a hot, difficult Swedish Warmblood mare that could easily have been a disastrous partner for a young, inexperienced teenager. She is currently half-way to the USDF Silver Medal on her self-trained homebred mare, and she is also bringing an 17hh Shire/TB up the levels.
Because of her background with diverse breeds, Eileen is uniquely adept at improving all horses despite conformational challenges or performance limitations. Her approach emphasizes correct, unforced horse & rider biomechanics with the goal of enhancing physical and mental wellbeing, and creating harmonious and willing partnerships.
