Bio on Patty Russell
Patty owns and runs Canter Lane Dressage Stables. She competed
as an Eventer for many years before turning to dressage. She also
breeds and trains her own horses that are warmbloods. She has
now turned her attention to Welsh ponies and German Riding Ponies and
wants to settle for the 14 - 14.2hh size instead of 16hh++.
Patty's dressage success has come mainly from her good friend and mentor, Kari McClain of Miari Stables in Tumwater WA. Kari has helped Patty succeed in getting her USDF bronze, silver and gold medals. Patty won her Gold Medal on a Hungarian gelding named Balaton in 2001.
Patty has several clients who have competed their horses under Patty's tutelage and have done very well at recognized and schooling shows. Many are gaining Hi-Score points and top USDF awards at the Championship Shows. She is also riding several Welsh ponies and due to Patty's petite size she is more than at home on them.

Patty is seen here competing at Training level on her homebred and trained Swedish warmblood mare "Espree" who is for sale.
Bio on Pat Stauffer
Canter Lane Dressage has invited Pat Stauffer, of "Thinking Horses", to be a visiting trainer. Pat will start new horses and/or help horses with unsafe and unwanted behavior. He uses teaching methods commonly seen among those who practice Natural or Co-operative Horsemanship. This means Pat sets himself up as the leader for the horse, thereby gaining the trust and respect of the horse.
Pat’s emphasis is having a safe relationship with the horse, helping the horse understand the halter and lead-rope, then on to the horse learning to enjoy being ridden both in and out of the arena.

Pat is keen to communicate with the owner of the horse he is teaching. If the owner can not attend the teaching session, he sends an email describing the progress made that day.
