Alexandra Tomson (Allie) developed a love for horses when she was introduced to riding at 4 years old. While growing up, she participated in local Hunter/Jumper shows and in pony club. Dressage became her main focus at 19 years old, and is where she found her true passion. She currently competes at recognized shows, both regionally and nationally, with multiple horses. In 2019, she received her USDF Gold Medal on Teodor. In addition to Allie’s equine resume, she holds a Master’s Degree in Mental Health Counseling and Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology. She enjoys incorporating and sharing her knowledge with her students during lessons, helping them overcome emotions and issues commonly experienced by riders of all levels, such as fear, focus, frustration, and performance anxiety.
Allie has benefited from the knowledge of many successful trainers over the years. She participates in regular training sessions and clinics with top quality trainers year round and continues to expand her knowledge of dressage through other educational events. Additionally, she devotes a great amount of time to fitness to improve her performance and effectiveness in the saddle. Strengthening exercises, aerobic activities and flexibility programs all help with becoming an effective rider.
