Berni takes a few dedicated riders who are training horses at various levels of dressage, with successful competition as the ultimate goal.  Berni spends most of her 'hands on' horse time training and competing on her own dressage horses, she has three in training at present, two are graded FEI and training towards the highest level, Grand Prix. Her other horse is the sentimental favourite, Hollybrook Boomerang by Space Cadet.  It is hoped that Bo will help to establish his outstanding dad  as a sire of performance horses.

Berni has had quite a deal of success with her dressage horses and is currently on the Victorian State Dressage Squad, which recognises the talents of the state's top 10 riders, and supports their efforts by conducting instructional clinics and seminars with top equestrian coaches.  Listed below are some of the horses that Berni has trained with success - DalrioPericles, Pia (Pictured left competing with success at Melbourne Summer Royal Show), Malachite, Ripark, Barcelona, Oktavia, Hollybrook Boston and Avalanche ll and Hollybrook Boomerang (Bo)

Berni's coaching style is very sympathetic to the rider and never takes the rider's level of knowledge for granted. Her students range from experienced dressage riders to eventers and keen adult riders. Tuition rates are $50 per hour for a student with their own horse. Generally, school horses are not available.
