Claudia Roberts

F.E.I. competitor, Claudia Roberts, is the owner of Pacific Dressage, LLC, and began her training barn over twenty years ago with the intent of providing riders with the knowledge and confidence they needed to become better partners with their horses. 

Ms. Roberts is a graduate of the USDF ‘L’ program which allows her to judge schooling dressage shows. She has also earned the USDF Silver and Bronze Medals and numerous national placings, including 4th at Second Level nationally for the USDF/USEF breed championship.  

Claudia is a great advocate for bringing dressage into the hunter-jumper world.  She was named "Trainer of the Year in Dressage" in 2012 by the "Interscholastic Equestrian League" with star pupil, Olivia Champ, as rider, who went on to win the Maclay Championship in 2013.

Prior to becoming a professional trainer, Ms. Roberts practiced as a psychotherapist for ten years which gives her a unique background for the horse industry.  Ms. Roberts speaks fluent Spanish as well.

Pacific Dressage is located in Canyon Country at Sand Canyon Equestrian Center. The facility offers various boarding options including mare motels that are 16x20ft., box stalls, large covered pens and pastures. 

Claudia provides clients with a number of different training options depending on the client's and horse's needs. For the competitive student, a number of rated Dressage shows are attended each year and clinics are held with known clinicians throughout the year. 

Any level of rider is welcomed by Claudia as well as any breed or age of horse. Her philosophy is that dressage, when taught correctly by utilizing the classical training scale, can benefit any horse and rider in any discipline. The training scale emphasizes rhythm, relaxation and suppleness, contact, impulsion, straightness and collection.
