Training
Silva Martin is a licensed instructor and passed her "Bereiter" exam in Warendorf, Germany with the mark "Excellent". During her educational years, Silva worked with Paul Beck, Hubertus Schmidt and Rudolf Zeilinger, all masters of dressage. During this time she was fortunate to ride many well trained Grand Prix dressage horses and thus developed a feel for proper training.
Today, training horses and riders to the top level is Silva's main focus, but she is equally adept at training young horses and inexperienced riders as she is Grand Prix competitors. She trains all her horses with the same basics that she learned in Germany, and is adept at translating that feel into words for her students.
