About me
Hi — I am Liana Antanovich, trainer, clinician, dressage judge, consultant in equestrian sports and horse management. With my forty years of horsemanship in different countries with hundreds of horses, I help people and horses to enjoy life and art of equestrianism. My philosophy is that competitions is a cherry on a cake, when everything is fine, when “happiness sneezed”. But “art of happy athletics” for equine-human pair comes first. I work with horse-rider-owner-trainer combinations, and with breeders. Together we design training plans to make sure all involved in horse village enjoy it.
Judging a dressage show
Every Fall I book shows to judge for the next year. Please contact me to book for officiating at classical dressage shows, para dressage, western dressage, young sport horses show, and Spanish working equitation shows. On my judge path I study in-depth national and FEI systems in different countries. I run seminars about horse development. Working on “hints for breeders of sport horses”.
Training plan
This is the very core of working with a rider, horse owner or breeder. I offer a unique methodology of creating a training plan for your horse that pivots from age, abilities, and skill levels of both horse and rider, available facilities, and aspirations. Training plan gets outlined for 365 days, with implementation details for near 2-3 months. This can be substituted with a couple clinics per year or coaching, or even mere mentoring touch points.
Coaching and clinics
Coaching and clinics are complementary to Training Plan design, really. There are many clinicians who take “incremental improvement in movements” approach or work on finessing basics, which is super difficult, and few professionals can do that exceptionally well. I come for clinics for the riders with whom we have already covered the training plan topic. I coach live in your arena or remotely (via live video) once we have designed a training plan for a horse.
