She started her formal education as a child with Rob Gage and Cyndi Merritt. She then moved on to Foxfield Riding School where she put down roots. Foxfield gave her a strong foundation in the basic fundamentals of riding. She learned you get out what you put in…and in order to succeed you must work hard, ride every horse you can, never complain and never stop learning!
Heatherly has always been passionate for equitation. After riding and working for exclusively for Foxfield for over 15 years, she moved on to train and clinic with other trainers to gain more education with the technical medal courses. This education helped her win many equitation and medal classes finishing with championships and top ten in medal finals.
Heatherly has also had a successful career of breeding and raising young horses. She learned the importance of consistent, patient training needed to bring along the young horses from the ground into the show ring. With a partnership in the famous hunter stallion Alla Czar, Heatherly produced several USEF, PCHA, and LAHSA champions, such as Millennium, Mieux Czar and Laissez Faire. Other breedings included her baby that is the 2005 USEF Medium Green Champion Pony Macy Grey and still successfully competing. She could be seen jogging in the top ribbons in the rated medium division at Capital Challenge 2013.
Through the years, Heatherly has also been fortunate to clinic with several world-renowned trainers. Among them are Bert DeNemethy, Victor Hugo-Vidal, Greg Best, Susie Hutchison, Anne Kursinski, Kip Rosenthal, Michael Page, Meg Schulman, Melanie Smith-Taylor, Karen Healey to name a few.

Heatherly has taken several juniors back east to compete in the Maclay as well as the newer NHS Medal. In 2019, one of her juniors took home the tri-color at the National Horse Show in the age division equitation. Heatherly really enjoys watching the “stirrup” riders all the way up to the Medal/Maclay riders as well as the bigger jumper riders achieve their goals. She emphasizes the fundamentals of correct riding while remembering all the while to keep the “fun” in the training. Whether you want to be extremely competitive in the show ring, simply learn to be a better rider at home or need to have your young horse brought along, Heatherly will custom tailor your training program to fit your needs.
When she is not teaching or riding, she enjoys spending time with her husband and son who is studying pre-med at University of Missouri.

Korie is a Moorpark, California native. She began her riding career at the age of seven, learning natural horsemanship and transitioned to the hunter/jumper world. As a junior, she rode with Edelweiss Farms and had much success in the jumper ring, taking home year end awards.
Korie was then invited to work along side Olympic trainers John and Beezie Madden at John Madden Sales in Cazenovia, NY. There, she groomed and rode top Grand Prix show horses, and trained their young horses. From there she moved to Katonah, NY to work for trainers Andre Dignelli and Patricia Griffith at Heritage Farm. She was first hired as a pony rider and was also made in to a barn manager for her keen attention to detail, organization skills, and vast knowledge in horse care.
Korie came home to California in 2014 and spent seven years under the tutelage of Mark Bone at Huntover; working as both assistant trainer and barn manager. There, she gained the proficiency to coach students of all levels and excelled in her managerial role.
After much deliberation, in 2021 Korie was delighted to bring her career full circle by returning to Edelweiss Farms, but this time filling the role of assistant trainer and barn manager. Her upbeat spirit and unmatched ability to quote movies makes her an asset to all barn environments.
