STANHOPE STABLES INSTRUCTORS
  

WEDRICH JOUBERT  http://www.goldfieldseq.com/index.html

Born in South Africa, Wedrich began riding when he was six years of age. His early training in dressage was with Volvo World Cup Medalist, Jackie Randall. Theo LeRos, Olympic team rider for Germany, was responsible for my training in jumping. Wedrich studied in England for four years under the guidance of many international riders, including Alan Kent and John Whitaker. He successfully won the 5 foot division at both the National Dunhill Derby and Volvo Nationals.
Since Wedrich arrived in the U.S. seven years ago, he has had the opportunity to ride in many clinics. He has participated in clinics with former Olympian in Three Day Eventing, Michael Page, and former Olympic Dressage Medalist, Dottie Morkis.
Wedrich's focus now is on the training of horse and rider in all four disciplines - hunter, jumper, equitation, and dressage. He says "I  enjoy teaching individuals of all ages and abilities. In addition to my lesson program, I also enjoy having my students involved in horse shows. Many of my students and I have garnished many champion ribbons and received numerous accolades.
I look forward to working with you. I hope you enjoy and achieve all your equestrian dreams."
