American World Championship team member Betsy
Steiner began riding at the age of 13. Her first horse was an unruly
Palomino mare named Zsa Zsa. Although three-day Eventing first drew
Betsy into the competitive arena, it was a year at Christilot Boylen’s
barn that cemented her devotion to dressage.
An unquenchable desire to immerse herself in Dressage led Betsy to spend
more than two years in Germany with Egon von Neindorff. It was the
endless lunge lessons there that Betsy credits with developing her seat.
In the years since her first Grand Prix at the age of 20,
Betsy was trained
by Uwe Steiner and spent many years in Germany training with Herbert
Rehbein. She has also enjoyed working with such luminaries as Guenter
Seidel, Klaus Balkenhol and Steffen Peters.
During Betsy’s career, she has successfully trained many horses to Grand
Prix including Attache, Special Delivery, Ortac, Komtur, Unanimous,
Metternich and Hilltop’s Giotto,
and most recently her two young FEI horses - Findlay's Titaan and Fino. With Grand Prix wins at prestigious
shows around the country, Betsy has enjoyed success at the highest
levels for more than three decades. A USDF Bronze, Silver and Gold
medalist, Betsy has numerous FEI wins.
One of the highlights of Betsy's illustrious career was when she
represented the United States at the World Equestrian Games in
Stockholm, Sweden in 1990 aboard her own Dutch Warmblood, Unanimous. |
