USDF Bronze, Silver and Gold medalist Jennifer Hoffmann, a 33 year old resident of Carlsbad, CA, manages a very successful full-time dressage breeding, training and sales barn, German Dressage, Inc, with her husband, Jürgen Hoffmann. She gained both experience and knowledge living and working in Germany from 1990 -- 2001, and had the opportunity to work several horses to FEI and Grand Prix level with not only her husband but also with Mr. Jean Bemelanns and Mr. Klaus Balkenhol, while acquiring her German Riding License Class 2. Because of this achievement, Jennifer was often invited to the DOKR (German Olympic Riding Center) to train with incoming clinicians. In 1996, Jennifer successfully received the title of Bereiter (FN) from the German National Federation, and in 1999, another memorable achievement was receiving the Most Successful Rider Award at the prestigious Luxemborg Dressage Show. Since returning to the United States in 2001, Jennifer has earned USDF Horse of the year Awards on multiple horses and qualified for the 2004 USET Olympic Festival of Champions. Jennifer was named to the USET Long List with "Petit Danseur" and has remained a long-listed rider for the last 3 years. In addition to several CDI and High Performance wins this spring, last year Jennifer and "Farinelli" qualified for the inaugural National Developing Horse Dressage Championship in Lexington, KY where they placed with a brilliant success of 3rd in the qualifying round and 4th place overall.

Excellent video! Its hard to find people in the U.S. that follow the german training scale. Last summer I spent 2 weeks at the Pferdesportverband in Vechta and worked at Stall Ramsbrock. What a beautiful horse you have! Do you ever accept students for a short time, like 2 weeks, or have a working student program?
