Paula is a USEF judge and has an extensive classical background. She has experience across disciplines including hunters, jumpers, and three day eventing.  Paula has shown at all levels, and has students that are showing through Grand Prix and producing their own Grand Prix horses.  She trains people AND horses with an intuitive grace that is astounding.  As a teacher by profession, I was impressed with her gift of quickly assessing the horse and rider team, and clearly giving them what they need to work together in harmony.   I feel truly BLESSED that Willow Hill and its riders have found Paula Kierkegaard.  THANK YOU Shelia Woerth for sharing her with us!!  Please contact Shelia at swoerth@insightbb.com for info and availability of ride times for the upcoming clinic.
