Equestrian Trainer
Lisa Swan has been a member of the Maryland horse scene for over 30 years. She has a degree in Elementary Education that has served her both in the classroom and riding ring. She has managed barns, directed summer camps, trained horses, and organized and judged shows. You will find her current students competing successfully throughout the area.
Lisa has seen the positive effects horses have had on the emotional and physical wellbeing of her students. Communing with horses has been proven to reduce stress and anxiety, improve confidence, and increase empathy and social skills. Horseback riding improves balance , coordination, and physical stamina.
As a lifelong educator, Lisa is looking forward to sharing her equine experience with the students at The Westbrook Horse Farm. She is eager to get kids off their screens, into the barn, and out in nature.
