Gina Krueger owns Garland Farms with her husband John and coordinates all instruction and training. Gina is a USDF Certified Instructor and currently has 10 horses and their owners in training at the farm and her day is rounded out with local students that trailer in. Gina teaches clinics in GA,FL,AL,ME,NC,IN, and NV. Her students and horses range in their careers from beginners/just started 4 year olds to FEI competitors.
Gina's education began here in the United States under the tutelage of Suzanne Hoppman, who is the former Vice President of Education for the German National Equestrian Federation, and the author of the re-written "Principles of Riding". Gina has spent several years in Germany in the German National Equestrian Federation Riding Program in an effort to understand the organization of their very successful Educational System. Her education has been enhanced greatly over the years by participation in many USDF programs including Instructors/Trainers Forum with Jaap Pot; Judges Forums with Edgar Hotz and Axel Steiner; Regional Instructors Seminars with Major Andres Lindgren, Pre-r Judges Programs with Elizabeth Madlener, Micheal Mathews, and Bill Wood; USDF Vi Hopkins Seminars and the USDF National Dressage Symposiums.
Gina has had the distinct privilege of working closely with Maryal Barnett, an FEI "C" Judge and Clinician from Michigan. In this capacity, she organized, hosted and co-taught the Region 3 Annual USDF Regional Instructor's Workshops and Dressage Seminars held at Garland Farms.
Gina has also taught and co-taught, Instructor's Workshops sponsored by the Central Maine Dressage Association, and has been an instructor at many Regional Dressage Adult Camps over the years. Gina's goal is to do all she can to provide learning opportunities that educate riders and thus the improve the well being of our horses.
“Increasing the riders’ awareness of how the seat and aids affect the horse and the how the horse naturally responds to those influences is at the heart of my teaching philosophy.”
