Then, Stephanie and Aviva interview another trainer who has done well with an alternative breed. Cathy Echternach, of Poolesville, Maryland, has successful trained and competed Morgan horses through Grand Prix for many years.
Echternach has been a professional trainer and rider for more than 30 years. She’s earned her USDF Bronze, Silver, Gold medals and Gold Bar, and won USDF year-end awards through Grand Prix. Introduced to dressage by Nancy Tomlinson and Elizabeth Madlener, Echternach’s primary influencers include Pam Goodrich, Franz Rochanowski, Conrad Schumacher, Bill Warren and the late Uwe Steiner. She has teamed with Beth Brooke to operate Echternach Dressage at Broad Run Farm in Poolesville, Maryland.
