Michael was born into a very established horse family in Hamilton, MA and he grew up riding, showing horses and fox hunting. He has trained students to the highest levels of equitation, hunters and jumpers. He enjoys introducing new students to their first experience with horses or ponies and introducing them to the wonderful relationship that can come from that. He is adept at training from different points of view to try and make the whole experience both personal and rewarding, as students challenge themselves with the different aspects of riding. He has won blue ribbons and championships with his students in Florida as well as throughout the New England area.
