Abby Strohmeyer

Abby Strohmeyer, a native of South Carolina, began her equestrian journey at the age of four when she first climbed onto the back of a horse. This early introduction to the world of equestrianism ignited a passion that she has stuck with ever since.

After honing her skills throughout her childhood and teenage years, Abby pursued her passion for horses collegiately at Sweet Briar College, where she rode competitively.
Upon graduating, Abby moved to Buffalo, New York, where she secured a position working for renowned hunter rider Jennifer Alfano and trainer Susan Schoellkolph. For six years, Abby served as Alfano's assistant trainer, gaining invaluable experience and expanding her knowledge of the sport. Her time working alongside Alfano allowed her to witness firsthand the meticulous training techniques and attention to detail required to excel at the top level of this sport.

Armed with a strong background and a passion for developing young horses, Abby made the decision to venture out on her own. She relocated to Ocala full time to establish her own training operation.
Abby's approach to horse training is characterized by her patience, understanding, and dedication to each individual horses needs. This allows her to build strong foundations for the young horses she works with, setting them up for success in their competitive careers.
