Melissa has been a successful
professional rider and trainer in the hunter/jumper world since 1995. She is competitive from Pre-Green Hunters through Grand Prix Jumpers and everything in between.
Melissa developed as a rider and trainer under the tutelage of several of the U.S.'s most influential horsemen, including
successful hunter trainer, Frank Perla,
and long-time horse show veteran and USET Chef D'equipe, Frank Chapot.
In addition to her primary focus in
the hunter and jumper arenas,
Melissa has competed successfully through Prix St. Georges
in dressage.
In 1999 she earned the prestigious
USDF Bronze Medal Award
for accomplishments in dressage competition through 3rd Level.
Melissa's training methods utilize
patience and persistence, great attention to detail and a keen knowledge of equestrian sport.
She places a great emphasis on equitation, not only as a means to produce "pretty" riders, but to create soft, supple, accurate, and effective riders as a result of correct body position and use of aids.
