Leanne Albers draws from a lifetime of experience around horses – in fact, she was riding before she could even walk. Growing up on her parents’ farm, Leanne spent all of her free time at the barn with the horses. Leanne now loves passing on knowledge to other riders.

Leanne Albers has over 20 years of experience as a riding instructor. As a teacher, she applies the fundamentals of dressage and horsemanship to achieve harmony and balance between horse and rider. All lessons with Leanne are goal-oriented based on the needs of your horse and you. No matter your goals, Leanne will set up a lesson structure that will help you make progress and learn. Not only will you improve your riding skills and knowledge of the horse, but you will establish confidence in your abilities that you can apply outside your lessons. A large part of Leanne’s lesson program teaches independence and decision making, so you can use your awareness of your horse to make smart, safe choices, both in and out of your lessons.

At all levels of riding, Leanne helps aspiring equestrians learn the most essential elements of horsemanship by focusing on building relationships through an understanding of the mind and body of the horse.

My name is Grace Pawlowski and I am excited to be doing the education part of Horse Camp again this year. I will be a senior at Divine Savior Holy Angels High school. I have been riding/been around horses since I was three, so 15 years. I have competed in local horse shows jumping and doing some dressage most of my life including going to Kentucky for Region 2 Regional Dressage Championship. In 2018, I got my horse, Olivia, and take lessons every week. I have had many opportunities through the barn setting such as teaching Tiny Tot and Foal Class, Horse play, and the Horsemanship weeks. I am hoping to use the skills and knowledge that I have learned through my 15 years of horseback riding through the camps I attended to help each little rider coming to Lakefield Farm.
