Symmetry Training Stables

Crystal Udehn has a strong background in the fundamentals of dressage and a strong belief in bringing along horses in a classical manner. She has trained on the East Coast with several high level instructors; including a Grand Prix Dressage Rider. She also worked very closely under Kelly Jaegar, a former working student of Sally and David O,Connor for several years. Her style reflects the O'Connor influence in the very balanced seat and focus on CORRECT dressage training; bringing the horse up through the levels slowly and carefully using hind end impulsion rather than resticting hands. She holds a master’s degree in Speech, and has been a teacher for 10 years. She has a gift for being able to express and demonstrate difficult concepts to her students in a manner that they can understand. Crystal has had over 20 years of experience with owning, riding and showing horses. She has had a variety of riding experiences spanning from local Arab breed shows, showmanship halter classes, western pleasure, 4-H shows, hunter/jumper B shows and county shows, local and schooling shows, and participation in dressage lessons and clinics.
