Pam began her riding career at the age of 8. As a
junior, she was very successful in both the equitation and hunter
divisions. Pam is the sole proprietor of Faith Hill Farm (est.
1991), located in East Greenwich, Rhode Island. She trains
approximately 100 students, of all ages and abilities, boards 25
horses, and is in her seventh year coaching the University of Rhode
Island Equestrian Team.
In 2007, one of Pam’s team members
was the high point open rider for their IHSA
region.
Pam maintains an aggressive show
schedule and focuses the majority of her efforts in developing and
showcasing her students. She is a graduate instructor of the Balimo
Program, under the mentoring of Ekhart Meyners. Pam's young rider
dressage students have received their bronze and silver medals and
have been very successful in the Jr./Young Rider programs. Pam works
very closely with Evi Rainsborough to bring quality horses to the US
for her students.
In
2002, Pam attended the International Academy Equestrian Studies
(IAES) in Germany and in 2004 returned to the Academy with seven of
her students. Also, in 2004, she attended the Eckart Meyners/Eva
Rainsborough intensive training symposium at the University of
Lunenburg. She regularly trains with Judy Westlake, Eric Horgan and
hosts regular clinics with Judy Westlake, Eric Horgan and Evi
Rainsborough for her students. Pam has also had the pleasure of
working with Karl Mikolka on many occasions.
During the summer of 2005, Pam participated in Eckart Meyners
clinics in Colorado, Maryland, and Texas, where she rode with Hannes
Mueller. In October of 2006, Pam attended the
German Riding School under Hannes Mueller; and in December of 2006,
she was part of a special task teaching workshop in Folsom, LA.
Pam received very positive published reviews after teaching
Eckart’s Balance In Motion philosophies in Minnesota in February of
2006. She also attended an Eckart Meyners
clinic in Georgia in April of 2006 and two Eckart Meyners symposiums
held at Johnson & Wales University in Massachusetts. Most recently
in 2008, Pam accompanied two of her own students, who made the
Region 8 dressage team, to the North American Junior Young Rider
Championships held in Colorado. In 2008 Pam also achieved her Bronze
and Silver Medals, with a big thanks to Kate Mancosh and Laura
Gammell for the use of their horses. Also in 2008, Pam and her sale
prospect, Mae West, won the reserve champion USDF Half Welsh
Training Level year end award. February 2009 will mark Pam's second
consecutive year going down to Florida to show with some of her
dressage students, as well as showing Mae West herself.
Pam prides herself on developing her students as quality horsemen,
leaders, and citizens. Much emphasis is
placed on exposing her students to many different areas of riding
such as dressage, eventing, hunting, hunter pacing, vaulting, and
trail riding. Pam integrates skills from
Eckart’s “Balance in Motion” philosophies and techniques along with
her decades of experience to provide excellent competitive
instruction to her students. She is thrilled
with the positive results and measurable improvements that are
evident in both horse and rider.
