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.
