Ingela Hoerler’s breadth of experience has made her an excellent and well qualified trainer for a wide array of horses and riders.  Her education as a rider began in early childhood, allowing for an exposure to, and deep understanding of many equine breeds, riding disciplines and training techniques.  Ingela’s discipline and success in the show ring has always been matched by a warm appreciation for recreational horsemanship and the value of human-equine bonds.  Her upbringing in 4-H inspired her to create and lead her own Snohomish County group for the past 10 years, which has only added to her exceptional innate skills with young riders. Her dedicated, friendly and technically excellent teaching style is evident in the loyalty of her students, many of whom have followed her between facilities for over a decade. Both in the saddle and as an instructor, Ingela’s ability to challenge a horse or rider is wonderfully balanced by her intuitive sense of compassion and safety. Her extensive knowledge and warm demeanor is extended to her students who can trust that they will receive a thorough education in the universal fundamentals of riding. Ingela enjoys helping competitive riders meet their goals, as well as giving those who ride for pleasure, a fun and relaxed atmosphere in which to learn at their own pace. Any horse under saddle with Ingela will be worked with skill and careful consideration of their individual mind, talents and conformation. Ingela currently teaches both English and Western disciplines to beginners and seasoned showmen from young children to mature adults.
