WELCOME TO VALLEY VIEW FARM DRESSAGE

Riding a horse is not a gentle hobby, to be picked up and laid down like a game of solitaire. It is a grand passion. It seizes a person whole and, once it has done so, he will have to accept that his life will be radically changed. Ralph Waldo Emerson

Valley View Farm is a premiere training, boarding, and show barn specializing in the Olympic sport of competitive dressage and is located in Vilonia, Arkansas, between Conway and Beebe off Hwy 64. Owner - trainer Patty Hale,  who is an Arkansas Dressage Society board member, lives on the premises with her husband Roy.

Susie.jpg (21156 bytes)Susan Hoffman Peacock is one of our favorite clinicians. We have been riding with her for over 10 years. Please check out her website at www.dressagepeacock.com

Susan Hoffman Peacock is a National Clinician, USDF  4th Level Certified Instructor/Trainer, USDF Silver Medalist and National Champion. She owns and operates the beautiful Hidden River Ranch in Corona, California.

This California native has spent her life taking advantage of some remarkable learning opportunities. She has worked with wonderful trainers such as, Johann Hinnemann, Mette Rosencrantz, Betsey Steiner and Eicke Von Velthiem. She currently is working with dressage master Conrad Schumacher and James Shaw to study body mechanics.

 

Our other favorite clinician is Allyson Rogers at www.alrdressage.com. When Jana received the Dressage Foundation's Gifted Grant, she and Patty went to Memphis to spend a week training with her.

Allyson Rogers brings her experience of working with many of the country's best dressage trainers and top horses to west Tennessee. She worked extensively for 10 years with Olympian, Steffen Peters, training here and in Europe. She accompanied him to the Olympics and other international competitions for many years and when staying in California, she had the great experience to ride and train these outstanding dressage horses. Ally was responsible for riding and schooling some of the most famous international dressage horses including 1996 Olympic Bronze medalist Udon, owned by Lila Kommerstad, and her other famous horses Grandeur, Akeena, and the recent 2005 USET Int 1 champion Marlando. Another horse she was solely responsible for riding at Steffen's until his sale was 2005 USET Int 1 reserve champion Luxor. Some other famous names are Anky Van Grunsven's and Robert Dover's former Grand Prix horse, Eminent, and the wonderful Oldenburg stallion, Routiner.
