Blaire earned her USDF Bronze and Silver Medals before age 21 — on a horse she produced entirely herself. She has managed elite Wellington FEI programs, groomed for the 2015 Pan-American Games team, and trained under Conrad Schumacher, Lars Petersen, Axel Steiner, Laura Graves, Johann Hinnemann, Endel Ots, and Christoph Umbach.
Known throughout Region 3 for producing self-made horses, earning USDF medals on any breed, and building riders who flourish on their own terms. Her program is built on one principle: horse first, always.
Rya joined Élan Vital at the start of 2026, relocating from Vermont with her personal horse Riddles — currently schooling all FEI work. She is integral to this program from day one, knowing every horse at Crownview inside and out.
Her goals: to become the most well-rounded rider she can be, develop into a skilled teacher, and earn her USDF medals. That ambition is exactly what this program is built for.
Working Student Program →Every horse at Élan Vital has access to a team of professionals who have worked at the highest levels of international sport. This is not standard — it is a deliberate choice.
