Debbie Kennon

Debbie started out competing in Hunt Seat, then later branched out into Eventing and Dressage.  During the past 30 years, Debbie has had the opportunity to expand her own skills while training with some of the best instructors in the country.  Some of Debbie’s previous instructors include Bruce Davidson (an Olympic Event Rider and World Champion), Stephanie Baer (an International Event Rider), Susan Williams (an FEI Dressage competitor and Judge) and Gunner Ostergard (an FEI Dressage competitor).  More recently Debbie has kept up her training riding locally with Stephie Bear and Adam Cropper.

Throughout her career Debbie has been a successful competitor, placing first at several well-known events such as Groton House Horse Trials and King Oak Dressage Days.

My equestrian pursuits began in the 1970s. I began lessons at Fleetwood Farm on Route 53 in Pembroke, with Carl Catani, who now owns River Wind Farm. A few years later, I was directed up the street to Friars Gate Farm owned by Julie and Richard Ulrich. Here I was introduced to Show Jumping, Hunters and Dressage.

While attending Wheaton College in Norton, Massachusetts I was Co-Captain of the riding Team from 1981-1984. In the years to follow I met Suzi and Jim Gornall and evented through Training Level riding in beautiful open space at Huntington Farm, Stoneleigh Burnham, Groton House and King Oak.

Lately, my instruction is of a more recreational nature. I incorporate some Dressage in all my lessons, jumping for the more adventurous students and an emphasis on harmony and balance with your equine partner.
