MEET YOUR INSTRUCTOR

With a background in high-performance/FEI eventing, Lindsey Oaks knows what it takes to reach the top of equestrian sport. She brings a wealth of experience to the Academy, making her an exceptional choice to teach new riders a strong foundation of skills to build upon. 

​

Grand Prix members and Messenger Hill Show Team riders enjoy working on riding theory with Lindsey, and often speak of surpassing their riding goals while in her program. 

​

A self-described "nerd" when it comes to training, beginners through advanced riders will benefit from time spent with Lindsey!

"I can't say enough positive things—world-class riding program for serious students who want to compete. My daughter has been in the program for over a year. She has grown as a person and athlete and loved her first show this summer, placing Reserve Champion. Lindsey is exceptional at instruction, hits the right note, and is extremely dedicated, trustworthy, and competent. The horses are hard-working, safe, kind, and funny -- everyone has a good time -- while doing serious stuff. I highly recommend this program for beginners or advanced riders alike."

- Lisa Kinzelburg
