2021 Verne Batchelder Instructor Fund Grant Recipient: Ana O’Brien (NY)

I was afforded an exceptional opportunity through The Dressage Foundation’s Verne Batchelder Instructor Fund to further my continuing biomechanical education with FEI competitor, coach, rider, and Para Athlete, Michelle LaBarre. Michelle is known for her deep knowledge of horse and rider biomechanics and her innate feel from the saddle.
