Horse Training - Desert Springs Equestrian Center


Full Time Instructor and Trainer for the Horse and Rider
Cathy Schreiber welcomes riders of all ages and levels for lessons. She focuses on beginning with correct position and aids. She also helps the rider understand how to communicate with the horse to enhance the horse-rider partnership. To assist the learning of new skills, Cathy encourages students to try different horses — each horse teaches us new aspects of horsemanship. Please take a look at our horses for lease to see our equine teachers who help students develop and improve their riding. Students are also welcome to trailer in their own horses for lessons. Cathy's Background Cathy started riding seriously when she was 10 years old in upstate, New York and began teaching lessons when she was 15. As a Junior rider, she successfully competed in Medal and Maclay, Pony Club, Eventing and Hunter/Jumpers shows. After earning a B.A. in Equestrian Science at Lake Erie College and becoming a British Horse Society Certified Instructor (BHSAI), Cathy became more serious about Dressage training. She competed on the Florida/Michigan circuits and attended the Violet Hopkins seminars where she refined her Dressage knowledge.
Cathy moved to Arizona in the early 1990's where she established herself as a versatile instructor and trainer. With her quest for continuing education, she helps bring awareness of the horse and rider connection to her students.
