USDF Silver and Bronze medalist and having successfully competed at the FEI level for a number of years, Gracia Huenefeld is available for training, teaching, sales, clinics, or coaching at shows.

With exposure to many of the USDF programs, Gracia has worked for trainers who have been actively involved in the Young Horse and Dressage Seat Medal Programs. Spending over two years working for US Team rider Silva Martin (wife of US Eventing Team member, Boyd Martin), Gracia was able to ride along side and learn from some of the top riders in the sport. Whether teaching the youngster how to ride for the first time or taking the student or horse up the levels, Gracia is enthusiastic to pass on all she can to her student of any age! Students are welcome to trailer-in their own horses for lessons or check with her about the availability of a lesson horse. Gracia is also available to travel to teach on a limited basis.

Angie McClelland
Middle Cross Stables - 500 Sprague Rd, Roca, NE 68430
[email protected]

Angie McClelland has ridden and taught dressage for nearly 20 years and is dedicated to a classical-yet-practical approach to this most challenging of disciplines. Angie showed 4-H and breed shows as a youth competitor, and caught the dressage bug in college, training and showing several non-traditional breeds for the dressage arena. Often called to help re-train horses who were originally shown in different disciplines, Angie has a talent for helping horses make the transition to dressage and for creative problem-solving when problems arise.

Angie’s depth of knowledge and appreciation for Arabians, Quarter Horses, and Morgans helps to bridge the gap between the "everyday backyard horse" and the upper-level equine athlete. Angie believes that every horse can be improved with dressage concepts, such as strengthening the topline and developing suppleness and relaxation to promote soundness and longevity. Similarly, every rider can improve with increased confidence, understanding of the aids and attention to equitation.  

Angie leads the area’s only dressage-specific 4-H club and is experienced in teaching young riders; she also enjoys teaching adult students. Angie is based at Middle Cross Stables, and can teach lessons at that facility or travel to your barn or arena for lessons.
