Julia — Lead Trainer & Bereiter

Born in Moscow, Julia discovered her passion for horses early and began riding at age ten, when her father bought her first horse. From that moment, horses became the central part of her life and career.

A professional rider and bereiter, Julia trained at a prestigious riding school in Moscow and with internationally respected professionals, including Olympic dressage rider Elena Petushkova and show jumping and eventing riders Nina Gromova and Igor Pyatalo. She gained extensive experience across Russia, Europe, and the United States, including California and Florida, building a versatile and horse-centered approach.

With over 25 years of experience, Julia has worked extensively with young horses, retraining and starting them under saddle, as well as addressing behavioral and performance challenges across multiple disciplines — dressage, show jumping, eventing, endurance, and hunter horses. She is a multiple prize-winner and champion of the Moscow Region in show jumping for young horses, and a prize-winner in dressage competitions at all levels, including Prix St. Georg. Horses trained by Julia are calm, responsive, and a joy for their new owners.

Julia specializes in building trust, motivation, and partnership between horse and rider. She focuses on emotional connection, correct biomechanics, and enjoyable work for the horse, ensuring that both horse and rider are healthy, happy, and confident athletes. A properly trained horse, for Julia, is light and effortless for the rider, working with pleasure and willingness.

TRAINING PHILOSOPHY

Julia’s training philosophy combines classical dressage foundations with a modern understanding of equine biomechanics and mental wellbeing.

True expression, balance, and collection are developed through:

Correct alignment and posture
Relaxation and suppleness
Progressive strength development
Clear, consistent communication
Mental confidence and trust

Correct basics are never rushed. Instead, they are established carefully to create reliability, longevity, and confidence at advanced levels.

The objective is not only competitive performance, but true harmony between horse and rider.
