Rachel Bigger has over 30 years of experience with horses. In her early years she showed hunter/jumpers in Maryland and Virginia and specialized in equitation over fences and on the flat. After moving to California she found her passion in dressage and trained extensively with Lani Kastelic (www.tddressage.com) to develop a solid foundation in dressage. In Georgia, Rachel trains with Susan Geisel (www.flatcreek.us). Rachel specializes in bringing along beginning students and giving them a solid foundation in horse care, horsemanship and equitation so that they can go on to be successful horse owners and competitors throughout their lives. Rachel also enjoys re-introducing and introducing adult riders to the joys of riding.  Call 678-576-4655 for more info.
