What. A. Weekend!! The progress shown in the horses and Boss Lady Jayde was beyond impressive.
Qindred scored another 70% on Saturday and continued to be an unflappable 4yo. Sunday I was able to ask for a bit more and ended with a 67+%. This mare continues to impress us all with her adjustability to show settlings and her incredible ride ability.
Smetti came out for the first time in over two years and although he was curious of his surroundings and we had some very costly mistakes, including me forgetting part of the test, we ended with 62% both days. There’s so much more in this horse and we had plenty of 7s and some 7.5s. With miles I have no doubt he will flourish and I’m so excited to be a part of it.
Now Jayde rode like the true trainer she’s becoming. Her pony tested her HARD on Saturday and in the heat she pushed through and had an incredible test. But that’s not all, Sunday she rode her first test and came out and cantered once each way and went straight back into her next test. The pony had no option but to say “yes ma’am!” I am so proud of how far she’s come, from being scared to canter at a show to pushing through and being riding the hair off PoHead.

This X 100 !!!!! The release of pressure is when horses learn. When we as riders develop the feel of when to soften when we have achieved what we are asking, a whole new world opens up for us and our horses and their try and trust grows deeper and deeper.

From backing babies one day to dressage shows the next, I get to be a part of these special horses journeys one way or another.
🌟Matilda is a baby I’ve soft started over the last year and is slowly growing confidence at her pace.
🌟Taco is a large 3yo just beginning his riding journey and has taken more time and required me to change my approach in a few ways.
🌟Qindred is a stellar 4yo I had the pleasure of starting last year and today just qualified for regionals with her second 70% test!
🌟Smetana, Smetti, is a once in a lifetime horse who I’ve had the pleasure to work with for almost two years now and as it’s taken us time to get him going in the direction we wanted, it’s been so worth it and he handled his first show in the US with grace and kindness.

I love these horses more than anything and will continue to always do what’s best for each and every one of them.

Keep watching for an overall wrap up of the show and to see who the REAL star was. *Cough cough Jayde Madeira cough cough…

LOOOOK at these two! Stormie did 60 days with me in April and May and we’ve been steadily working together since she got back home with her mom. Marlena does a fantastic job with her and I cannot wait to see their future!!

My promise to you while I am riding your horse
When I swing into the saddle, I’m not just “riding.”
I am listening to every breath.
I am feeling for the smallest change in balance.
I am reading every flick of an ear and shift of weight as if your horse were speaking out loud.
Here’s my promise:
✅ Your horse will always be treated like a partner, never a tool.
✅ Every moment will be purposeful — developing skill without ever losing trust.
✅ Their well-being comes first, even if that means the training plan changes that day.
✅ The work will be correct, fair, and aimed at long-term soundness — not short-term shortcuts.
Because when you entrust me with your horse, you’re not just hiring a rider.
You’re trusting me with a living, breathing athlete you care about deeply.
That trust is sacred to me — and I intend to keep earning it, every single ride.

Kinda mad Cracker Barrel beat me to rebranding but as everyone can see, it can be a big deal with a lot of meaning. My rebranding took a lot of time and thought to make it something I’m proud of with a lot of meaning.

The name TRU Equine Training makes me smile and proud everytime I see the logo because it reminds me of my ‘why’. My ‘why’ I do what I do, my ‘why’ I get up in the mornings and my ‘why’ I am who I am today.

Truitt Dale - my 4 year old son who is ball of energy, sweetness and fun!

I hope one day he sees how hard I work to make what I love doing successful and one day he chases his dreams, too.

I share this in hopes you get a glance into my ‘why’ and my world as I love to learn all of my clients ‘why’ and help their horse dreams become achievable.

Hello all! Some of you already know me, but I’d like to reintroduce myself and my business!

My name is Alex Greer & I’m excited to announce that I have a new business name, TRU Equine Training!

I still proudly offer my training services in dressage, jumping & young horse development to begin their riding career.

A little about me:

•I specialize in classical dressage, USDF Bronze and Silver medalist, but also worked at a breeding farm starting Belgian warmbloods and beginning their careers as jumpers for the Chef D'Equipe of the young rider showjumping team.

•I built a business in North Carolina that grew successfully to 20+ horse and rider combinations of all levels from unbacked or complicated to Prix St Georges. I now reside in the VA Beach area and travel within a one hour radius. I have many references of happy clients and also of past and current trainers readily available.

•I trained for seven years under a USA CDI grand prix trainer and traveled all over the world as she competed at team events. In that time I was training under Olympic Judge Lilo Fore very consistently. Aside from these accomplishments I am whole heartedly dedicated to the success of my clients and that brings me more joy than anything.

•I look outside the box and incorporate different riding styles and horsemanship techniques to create success and harmony between you and your horse, explaining everything in the smallest of details until everyone is confident in whatever task at hand.

Reach out via Facebook or text (970)846-6403 with any questions or to book a consultation and/or lesson to talk about or start your training needs!

I would love nothing more than to help you and your horse on your journey while traveling to you in the comfort of your own farm, happy riding! 🐎❤️

Sweet baby Matilda has come for 60 days training and I couldn’t be more excited! I have been working with this lady for just about a year, doing a very soft start and teaching her the baby basics and now she’s ready to start under saddle. This girl’s demeanor is something special and I cannot wait to see her future and I am beyond grateful to be a part of her beginning! Thankful for owners who trust me with their babies ❤️
