About The Trainer
Leah Green, b.a.,
c
ertified Riding master, certified riding instructor,
certified equine sports massage therapist
Leah Green is an equine
professional proficient in the
art of
Dressage,
hunter/jumper, and cross
country riding.

Leah has been riding since
the age of 3, when she was
photo-featured in the book,
"Guide for the Parents of
Horse-Crazy Kids."  

As a child, she took lessons in
Southern California at Griffith
Park, as well as the world
famous Foxfield Riding
Academy in Westlake Village
(a renowned riding facility
known for riders jumping 7
horses abreast without
saddles or bridles!). There,
she also showed  successfully
(and won most classes!).

Leah then groomed for
Stephanie Abronson, owner
of Pony Cross Farm (a Welsh
Pony breeding farm) where
she participated in Parades,
Drill Team, charity projects,
Combined Driving Events,
and Pony Club.

Leah's love for horses led her
to attend Mereidth Manor
International Equestrian
Centre when she was ready
for higher education.  She
gained all of her equine
training certifications at the
program in West Virginia,
which was equivalent in
credit hours to a Bachelor's
Degree. There, she learned
to train horses and people
through Grand Prix in
Dressage and Jumping.

After receiving her diplomas,
she instructed at the Los
Angeles Equestrian Center
Riding School, located at the
Los Angeles Equestrian
Center (home of Richard
Spooner and many other less
well known Grand Prix
competitiors).  She then
moved up in the equestrian
world to open Foxtail Farm
in Portland, Oregon, as the
owner and trainer of the
business, in 2004.  She
operated the successful
upscale Hunter/Jumper and
Dressage barn while
finishing her additional B.A.
at Marylhurst University.

Leah relocated to Las Vegas
in July 2008 to be with her
family, and began the
operation of Foxtail Farm at
Pony Park Horse Boarding.  
Leah ran a successful
business there as well with
all levels of riders, helping her
students to earn many blues
as well as gain invaluable
riding and theoretical
knowledge.
Leah's combined professional
instruction in Horsemanship
spans over 27 years.  She has
an excellent show record
(never coming home
without any 1st place
ribbons!).  She excels at
bringing the best out of
horse and rider, for pleasure
or competition. She loves
helping others to learn about
how to care for and how to
ride horses; it shows with her
dedication to providing the
best instruction available,
including making pamphlets,
"homework" and any other
learning material available for
her clients.

Leah has training and lesson
programs for all levels and all
ages of riders. Please
email if
you have any questions. We
look forward to helping you
learn!
When the opportunity to
obtain her own property
arose in Gardnerville, NV, she
took the opportunity to build
her dream, and handed over
all her clients (30 full-time
students, 45 total) to
colleague Tovah Jasperson of
Facet 58 Farm in Las Vegas
to continue her clients'
education.    Leah still travels
to Las Vegas periodically to
teach and train. Leah looks
forward to helping new
students learn in the
Gardnerville/Tahoe/Minden
vacinity.  Leah's barn will be
under construction in the
year to come, and will be
amazing!!!   Stay tuned for
further details, and visit our
boarding page for current
information.

When not at the stables,
Leah is busy with her new
book, "
How to Train a
Nervous (abused, or
untrained) Horse: the
Comprehensive Guide
"
and creating illustrations to
match.  It is finished except
for photos, and currently
pending publication.
