Meet the Owners
At Dreamcatcher Meadows the owners, staff, homebred Hanoverian horses and clients are a happy family..
John Dingle |
Co-Owner and Head Trainer
Widely regarded as one of the top young horse trainers in North America, John has taken numerous horses from unbacked youngsters to national title holders with record setting scores. Although he made a name for himself in FEI young horse classes, you’ll also see John perfecting his FEI large and small tours on his homebred horses.
When he isn’t riding, he can be found coaching students and staff. John finds fulfillment in passing on his knowledge and helping horse/rider combinations develop into harmonious partnerships.
Jill Giese |
Co-Owner and Head Coach
A lifetime of experience training with top coaches such as Carl Hester and Charlotte Bredahl, Jill’s resume doesn’t stop at riding. Priding herself in expert husbandry and stable management, the mantra “The animals come first” is instilled into every student who comes through their barn. She loves teaching anyone wishing to create a partnership with their equine best friend.
The breeding program (and everything else!) at Dreamcatcher Meadows started with Jill’s heart & horse of a lifetime Elite Mare “Dreamcatcher”. Known on the farm as Aria, she leaves a legacy of 36 genetic offspring. Her children are available for lease to learn, to purchase or simply, to admire.
