Laura Stutesman teaches all ages, levels, and disciplines at Rising Hope Stables, in Ashland, Oregon. Her stables also hosts an assortment of horse shows and clinics throughout the year. She utilizes her diverse equine background and 20 years of experience to specialize in practical riding that works with each horse and rider’s skills and desires.

Trisha Kiefer-Reed enjoys sharing the joys of Working Equitation with a variety of students. Having spent decades professionally coaching, instructing, training and competing in a variety of equine disciplines, Trisha was immediately drawn to the sport. Borrowing from her Eventing and Dressage background, she saw an opportunity to blend classical principles with her everyday ranching and trail riding skills. Assisting horses and their riders to calmly and confidently accomplish the many tasks required in WE is one of Trisha’s greatest joys.
