Becky Reed has had a love of horses for as long as she can remember. She
finally convinced her parents to let her take riding lessons at age 11. She
began riding saddleseat and developed a love of the show ring almost
immediately. Becky competed locally and nationally first with Arabians, and
then with Morgans. She competed two times at the Morgan World Championships in
Oklahoma City.
After many dedicated years to the saddleseat discipline at age 21 she decided to
take her horse out of the show barn and have her closer to home. During this
time, Becky competed with the University of Maine Equestrian Team and began to
focus on centered riding. She was fascinated by the new discipline and the
awareness that it brought to her connection with her horse.
Four years ago Becky moved her horse to Puckerbrush and discovered eventing and
dressage. She competed locally and nationally with her morgan mare on the
eventing circuit, falling in love with jumping and especially cross-country
jumping. For the past few years, Becky has been focusing on dressage. She
loves the precision and passion needed to excel. The challenge of dressage is
very exciting to her and she loves the incredible bond it can bring out between
horse and rider.
Becky is very excited to learn and improve, and loves to pass that on to
others. When teaching, Becky uses her vast background and focuses on a strong
foundation of basics for the beginner rider. She believes that good basics both
under saddle and on the ground, will take you far no matter what discipline you
ride. She focuses on creating a strong connection between horse and rider and,
of course, having lots of fun!
Becky has always dreamed of having a full time career with horses and is very
excited to be able to work in an environment that she is so passionate about.
She looks forward to working with Puckerbrush and their clients in the coming
years! You will see her training and competing her own mare locally and
nationally in the upcoming season! She is so happy to be a part of the
Puckerbrush team!
