Trainer:
Gry McFarlane, formerly Gry Gunderson, started riding at the age of 10. She rode successfully as a junior and amateur before becoming a professional. For over 30 years, she has been teaching riders from beginner to Grand Prix. Perhaps Gry's most notable training accomplishment was as the primary groundsman and manager of a single rider she coached from the local Northern California circuit to the International Jumper ring, with numerous Grand Prix wins along the way. As a professional instructor, she believes that a positive teaching style with specifically designed exercises produces successful horses and riders. Under her tutelage, both horse and rider quickly become adept problem solvers, a must with today's complicated courses.
