Dressage & Horsemanship with Chelsea Wacker
Chelsea Wacker
Chelsea's passion for horses started at a very young age. Her foundation began with Chincoteague lesson ponies at a hunter/equitation barn in Virginia. She continued to take lessons at a riding school in Frankfurt, Germany for three years. This is where she discovered her love of Dressage.
​
After returning to Virginia, Chelsea began her training with Holly Wilmoth. Her time with Holly earned her invaluable horsemanship skills, a core understanding of Dressage, and her very first horse. Chelsea found her American Paint Horse as a very young, untrained filly. They learned how to slowly and correctly develop up the Dressage levels as a team. Together they gained an immense amount of showing experience. Earning Training Level Reserve Champion at the GAIG/USDF Region One Championships as a junior rider.
