Montie Eagle has studied dressage since 1984, working with Karl Mikolka (former Oberbereiter of the Spanish Riding School), Pat Smeltzer, Karen Ramsing-Bixler, and Linnea Seaman. In addition she has taken clinics with Erik Herbermann, former Olympic Team Rider Lendon Gray, Steve Kannikkeberg and Harald Bauer, one of the riders from the Spanish Riding School.

She has brought former race horses from right off the track to working third and fourth levels and some F.E.I. movements. Past and present students include dressage enthusiasts, hunter-jumper riders, eventers and western pleasure riders, reflecting her philosophy that “dressage is for everyone.” Montie was a guest clinician and popular speaker at the PA Horse World Expo in both 2005 and 2006. |

Her growing interest in ground work and round penning as integral to producing calm and obedient dressage horses led her to work with Jay Catherman. During the past season, Montie worked with noted Western horseman and judge Richard Shrake, and also rode in the five-day long professional trainers’ clinic given by John Lyons. She was one of only two riders other than John Lyons trainers to be invited. In 2007 she participated in a clinic with Jack Brainard. |

| "The things making a horse into a joyous ride and a lifelong companion – whatever riding discipline you choose – are the same. We all want our horses to be pleasurable and willing partners and we want our equine friends to stay sound and enjoy their work as well. Come see how dressage at Eagle Glenn Farm can help you with your riding issues and problems and increase your understanding of how your horse thinks and works.” |

Mission Statement |
| |
|
To train horses through training their riders; to help riders learn how their position influences their horses; to show riders how to maximize their understanding of how to train by coordinating their cues to the horses’ footfalls in any given gait.
By doing so, riders greatly increase their understanding of their horses’ response and bring themselves and their horses into alignment with their Creator-given capabilities.
