Natalia Martin
Clinic Date: June 20-21, 2026
Natalia Martin has been riding horses since the age of four and training them at the professional level for over 20 years. From the very beginning, the fundamentals of dressage were instilled in all aspects of Natalia's riding career, even though her days as an eventer in Pony Club. As Natalia matured and realized her true potential in the dressage arena, she began to base her training fundamentals around teaching her clients how to work as one with their horses. Natalia has always had a knack for making dressage fun while helping the riders to develop a trusting relationship with their mounts.
Natalia has not forgotten where she came from and loves to work with different breeds, and riders at varying levels of experience and ability. While continuing to bring horses and riders up the levels, she also believes in cross training to aid the horses in keeping a sound mind and body. In doing this, Natalia is able to maintain a challenging and focused environment while encouraging the horses and riders to meet their goals while having fun. She feels the key to a successful partnership is by making sure that you and your equine partner enjoy the process and journey.
Honing in on the rider's strengths and weaknesses allows Natalia to aid her students in becoming a confident, strong, and balanced rider while maintaining a soft, quiet, and effortless appearance.
Natalia believes that Dressage is the foundation for all disciplines and it shouldn't be thought of as a separate discipline until the higher levels, because the lower levels are about building the foundation. If you take the time to build a strong foundation, you and your horse will excel!
