Justin Ridgewell Dressage

I have ridden and worked with horses for over 18 years. I rode hunter/jumper/evented and even western before moving to Oakcrest Farms in Stouffville, Ontario where I began my dressage career. At Oakcrest I trained and worked for Canadian Olympian/2x World Equestrian team member Belinda Trussell and Grand Prix rider/M level judge John MacPherson (both level 3 dressage coaches) for over 7yrs as thei

r working student and groom. I travelled across Canada, the US and Europe along side them both and have had the great opportunity of riding with some great clinicians such as Christilot Boylen (7x Canadian Olympian) and Janet Foy as well as auditing many great clinics with Robert Dover. I bring along the knowledge, skill and professionalism gained by working along side such great equestrians. I have schooled horses from green broke up to Grand Prix and have competed to Prix St George. I have worked with dressage riders of all ages and levels as well as eventers and jumpers. I was invited to be a member of an 6 horse Int 1 quadrille that preformed at Polo for Heart and the World Equestrian Games send off fund raiser. Currently training out of Foxfire Equestrian Centre, a full service boarding and training facility where I work along side Andrea Bresee and John MacPherson. With my sights set strongly on the show ring this summer and the 2015 Pan Am Games in the very near future the continuous encouragement from my coach John and "Team Foxfire" pushes me achieve my full potential.
