Developing you and your horse through harmony and balance

Heather Wilson-Roller earned her USDF Gold Medal on her horse, Darth, that she trained from training level through Grand Prix. Darth passed in 2023 at the age of 27 years and enjoyed a semi-retirement as a schoolmaster, occasionally showing off his Grand Prix skills until the end.

Heather has studied under a diverse selection of trainers & mentors, including Mike Marquez, Claudia Tarlov, Roel Theunissen, Silke Rembacz, & Pierre Cousyn.

Currently, Heather’s training program is located in Mount Vernon, Iowa, and Heather is developing her career as a para-equestrian after her stroke in March 2024. She is proud to offer individualized lessons, clinics, and training board with her and her Assistant Trainer Laurel Burns.

Heather believes in a whole horse approached to dressage training. Success happens in the barn. Heather routinely works with other talented professionals including, Veterinarian Charles Abraham, Saddle fitter Emma Frimml, Massage Therapist Andea Postolka,
Young Horse Specialist/Assistant Trainer Laurel Burns, and Manager Danielle Grimes.
