Britta Johnston at Mountain Vista Farm

Britta Johnston at Mountain Vista Farm Equestrian Training, Instruction, Sales, Shipping, Handling, Importing Services In 2005 Brita returned to Germany to train with Rudolf Zeilinger.

Britta Johnston is the Owner and Head Trainer of Britta Johnston International Sport Horses, LLC, offering Training, Instruction, Sales, Handling, and Importing Services. Britta began riding at the age of 6 in Germany where she was trained in Dressage, Show Jumping, Eventing, and Vaulting. She earned her bronze medal at the age of 13 and her silver medal at the age of 16 from the German Riding Fed

eration. Specializing in dressage training, Britta has 30 years of experience starting young horses and training them through to FEI levels. Through her childhood years in the breeding regions of Germany, Britta also gained a wealth of knowledge in the science of breeding excellent sport horses. She was invited to be a demonstration rider at the 2004 USDF National Dressage Symposium. In 2009 Britta was chosen by the WBFSH and the German Trakehner Verband to coach for the Young Breeders World Championships, where her Canadian working student placed 5th overall. While residing in Germany, Britta developed a very loyal following of junior and adult students in her local area in addition to giving clinics. Her international clients continue to grow and she is a regular clinician near Oxford (England), Long Island (New York), Toronto (Canada), and more recently, Brazil. Britta is a regular host and trainer to an international set of potential intern students who meet the right qualifications. She also welcomes amateurs of all ages who are keen to absorb a complete immersion experience. Lastly, sourcing the right horse for clients is an integral part of Britta’s business and that challenge is equally matched by her complete due diligence. Many sales end with Britta accompanying the purchased horse on the transport flight. Foremost, Britta Johnston is a teacher who displays an uncanny skill in evaluating riders and her consistent and confident teaching bring out the best in both horse and rider.

And in a spur of a moment, there was: Rachel…showing up slightly jetlagged after flying in for her “vacation” between boarding school and starting university in the UK. What was supposed to be a trip visiting her relatives turned into a full scale training extravaganza! In a blink of a coffee, and ten days later, she returned to the UK. All MVF horses were well ridden, cared for, and loved.
A young person so knowledgeable and dedicated to the horses and dogs.

Well done Rachel, and a huge THANK YOU! We are looking forward to hear about your journey!

“Kid in a candy store here…”
Mountain Vista Farm enjoyed the rare opportunity to learn from the legendary Olympian Dorothy Morkis. She spent the weekend with our horses and riders. A wealth of knowledge, high drive, razor sharp observation demanding instant improvement leading to outstanding results. What a privilege to study with her!

Thank you BJ Karibian for running the logistics for this clinic, and AJ Madeira to let young talent Jayde ride with her as well!

It takes a village to make a product!

The dressage show at Lexington this past weekend was very well organized and well run, thank you showmanagement and your wonderful team!

We accomplished our goal to get the second 4th level score for Juliana’s silver medal on Hymne MVF, aka “Lala”-(the Wonderbeast…as we wonder daily what mood/state of mind she might be in…so we can serve her appropriately…) They won their class with a 63.4%, and they also placed 3rd in the Third level test 3 class and won their Junior division.

This team set out to get 2 second level, and 2 third level scores in April/May of this year, moved up to fourth level in June and completed fourth level tests for the USDF Silver Medal yesterday.

In the meantime Juliana started her mornings at 5am daily, learned how to trailer the equine glories and how to safely handle mountain roads,
broke 3 three year old babies, improved her riding philosophy and will be going on a well deserved vacation soon.
We had a fabulously productive summer.
Thank you Juliana for living
SKILLSTRONG!

Juliana Klapper and Hymne MVF (Lala) spent the cool morning hours at the beautiful HITS dressage show at Commonwealth Park near Culpeper trying out their new dance at 4.1. With a 63+% they recieved their first score towards the USDF
Silver Medal and a blue ribbon!
Lala was extremely pleased that her in-house cheer team, the fabulously supportive MVF riders, were there to watch them shine! We even got to welcome the far traveled extended Klapper family to the fun.

What a good day! Thank you from everyone near and far who came to support Juliana in her journey. And thank you HITS and our supportive community!

We had a marvelous weekend at the Highpoint Hanoverians’ Young Horse Show!

Our five yr old Hanoverian Fiero MVF (Finnegan x Kaiserkult) is now qualified for Regionals with a 7.8! Go Colby and Klaus!

Holly Diesselhorst qualified her five year old mare Okracoke with a 7.5%. Go Holly and “Yoyo”! and
thank you Didi Callahan for breeding this fine horse out of the most talented TB dressage mare and Olivi.

I also got to spend time catchingng up with my dear friend Susanne Owen Hurtt, the phenomenal rider and trainer who was the World Championship (held in Verden, Germany)finalist in fourth place with Royal Prince in the day.

The young students of Mountain Vista Farm learned to be announcers and jump shoot catchers.

Lunch featured friendship and good stories.

Back at MVF all horses got very special attention by Dylan Vina, who apparently is becoming unstoppable!

To round up the weekend:
Fiero is qualified and the garlic is harvested!

Teamwork makes the Dream work, as always, a huge Thank You to the team! We couldn’t do it without you!
