Allison Cino is a USDF “L” graduate “with distinction” and is on the road to the “r” USEF judging program. She attained her USDF Bronze Medal on a self-trained Appaloosa mare shortly after competing in Kentucky and winning the 2nd ever Training Level 3-Day Event, and has experience starting and training horses from the ground up to FEI, competing over 35 horses at various levels in both Eventing and USDF shows. She graduated in 2001 from Lake Erie College in Painesville, OH receiving a Bachelor’s of Science degree in Equestrian Teacher/Trainer, and spent her younger years Eventing, riding Dressage, and participating in Pony Club. Her students range from beginners through 4th level Dressage and Intermediate level Eventing, and Pony Clubbers who have reached their C-3 ratings and have placed at the top at Nationals at various events. She continues to learn from some of the best in the industry, including regular clinics with Henrik Johansen and Jan Ebeling and remote lessons with Courtney King-Dye.
With education in Equine Massage and working with top vets in the industry, she became aware of biomechanics, muscle restrictions, and methods to relieve soreness. This has been especially beneficial in “problem” horses or those who have had poor training. Visit Allison’s website for current information at her website.
Her farm is located in Benton City, WA, just west of the Tri-Cities.
