Nina Winternheimer is a FEI dressage trainer from Sweden, based in Los Angeles, California. She grew up on a ranch in Sweden where her family bred Welsh ponies and with one of them she started showing dressage at the age of nine. Nina Winternheimer has a genuine background in dressage, having gone through the two national schools in Sweden - Flyinge and Stromsholm, and graduating in the top of her
class. She came to Los Angeles from Sweden in 1998 and has been appreciated as a dressage trainer in the area since. Nina has been very successful in bringing adult amateurs up the levels, giving both the horse and rider correct foundations to build on. She has brought numerous horses from scratch to FEI and both her and her clients have won many year-end awards. Whether you want to show or not, Nina will give you and your horse a solid education, adapting teaching and riding to your individual needs. Nina offers training at two facilities, Equinox Equestrian Center in La Tuna Canyon and North Middle Ranch in Lake View Terrace. You can choose between monthly training, 4, 3 or 2 times a week, single lessons or between any combination of Nina schooling the horse and you taking lessons. Sessions are approximately 45 minutes. If you don’t have your own horse, school horses and horses for half lease are sometimes available. You will be riding with a headset so you can hear the instructions clearly. Nina teaches according to the dressage training pyramid and classical principles.
