Courtney Albright |
Courtney Albright began riding 25 years ago, falling in love at 4 at her first show on “Goosebumps”. She began jumping and showed in Short Stirrup through Pre-Childrens Hunters and Equitation, moving to North Carolina where her mentor Bill Calvert (Brigadoon Stables) helped advance her competitive and horsemanship skills. He worked with young horses and retrained horses with issues; watching him Courtney learned common sense horsemanship and how to bring out a horse’s best regardless of discipline. “Bill taught me how to teach horses to find their niche whether it be dressage, jumping, and driving. I learned how to safely and sanely back horses and also how to work horses through issues. With Bill, I learned how to understand horses, read their behaviors and channel their efforts into positive and productive work.”
In Millbrook, Courtney met British FEI Dressage rider Louisa Marcelle-Eadie and worked as her groom and manager. “Louisa greatly elevated my knowledge of performance horses and dressage. We spent a winter in Florida where I learned FEI-level dressage training techniques; the competition and care gave me experience and knowledge I continue to utilize.”
But...Courtney missed jumping. She transitioned back into the Hunter/Jumper world by working as a groom for Sandra Dalman (Dalman Show Jumping). Traveling throughout the U.S. to shows created a well-rounded outlook for Courtney, working with high-level competition horses: “I got to work with Hunters and upper level Jumpers, and several Grand Prix horses.”
Courtney is now the Assistant Trainer/Main Instructor at South Horse Stables, Purchase, NY. She's taking her students from their first ride, to competing (and winning!) at both Local and A-rated shows. She competes clients’ horses and trains clients’ horses for sale. Courtney has a wealth of knowledge in horsemanship, horse care and competition in multiple disciplines. She has the patience and compassion to guide beginning riders to the winner’s circle. Here is a glowing testimonial from a client of Courtney’s:
“We luckily happened upon Courtney at South Horse Stables in 2017. My daughter was so timid when she arrived! Now she is showing and always looks forward to her next lesson with Courtney. Her confidence and skills have vastly improved due to Courtney’s patient teaching. I have also begun riding with Courtney and have come far in my riding as well! I would recommend Courtney at South Horse Stables to anyone, no matter what their age or skill level.” Lisa S., Client.
