Nadia has a lifelong passion for horses and the art of riding. She grew up in England and began riding at the age of seven. From an early age, she was often entrusted with horses others considered too difficult to handle, quickly developing a natural talent for training young and green prospects. As she progressed, she rode extensively with Pony Club and later became an instructor herself. It was during this time that she discovered her love for show jumping and began to pursue the sport.

​

In her twenties, Nadia trained with renowned professionals, including Olympian Tim Stockdale, Di Lampard and Mia Korenika, among others. She built a successful career in the UK, running her own barn and producing horses and riders to a high level before relocating to the United States. After moving to America, she continued her education by riding for a local barn, training hunters and jumpers of all levels, and spending several years mastering the art of the hunter ride. Nadia continues to work with her mentor Vinton Karrasch and firmly believes that there is always something new to learn in the sport.

Nadia’s training philosophy centers on positivity, integrity, and a deep understanding of the individual needs of each horse and rider. Over the past two decades, she has worked extensively with a sports psychologist, recognizing the importance of mental preparation alongside physical training. To further support equine well-being, she also trained as an equine chiropractor in England, allowing her to provide the highest standard of care for every horse she works with. Together, these principles and skills form the foundation, and the “Ethos”, of her business.
