LINDSAY SMITH
 Lindsay
Smith was born and raised on a small island off the
coast of Massachusetts called Martha’s Vineyard. She has spent most of
her life riding horses and has always known she would make a career of
it. When Lindsay was nine years old, Martha’s Vineyard hosted its very
first dressage competition. She competed in it and won the junior
championship. At age ten, she traveled off the island to her first USDF
recognized competition. From then on she became an avid competitor. When
she was fifteen, she purchased a Third Level horse named Roy. She took
him to the regional championships twice: both times placing in the
overall top five for the region. She then competed him in the FEI Young
Rider classes. By the end of Summer, 2005, she was competing Roy at the
FEI Prix St. Georges level. Lindsay is especially grateful to the
following trainers who have helped her along in her successful young
career: Annie Long, Lucy McClennen, Tom Davis and Martin Stuurmam.
From November 2005 through April 2006, Lindsay had the “wonderful
opportunity of riding and working for Mette Rosencrantz here at Mill
Creek.” Lindsay adds, “It was a great experience that I will always
treasure. I am now very excited and grateful to be recognized as one of
Mill Creek’s full-time instructors.”
Lindsay is not a stranger to the Eventing world either, having evented
as a teenager. At Mill Creek Lindsay teaches private, semi-private and
group lessons, both dressage and jumping. She taught a number of amateur
dressage riders at her previous barn and took them to shows. Lindsay
plans to do the same at Mill Creek and will put together groups of
riders to bring to local dressage shows.
