Wendy Lee Thompson has been training horses for more than 25 years including an extended period of time as a private coach, rider, and trainer for several families across the United States and Europe training horses from baby green hunters to grand prix jumpers. She also coached the members of those families as junior and amateur riders preparing them for competition of all levels throughout the United States.
Now, Wendy owns and operates Coastline Hunters & Jumpers out of Wildflower Farm in Encinitas, CA. Wendy is an active competitor on the West Coast Rated Hunter/Jumper Circuit, campaigning her mare “Simpatica 33” in the upper level jumpers and Regional and American Standard Grand Prix, as well as developing horses in the Young Jumper and Young Hunter divisions. The foundation for Coastline’s training program is deeply rooted in Wendy’s philosophy that horses must be sound, fit, and happy to perform at their best. Wendy’s patience and feel for the horses needs instill trust and confidence in her horses and she has been able to transform horses that were difficult and unmanageable to happy willing partners . Wendy’s program and style has earned her a strong reputation for equine rehabilitation.
Wendy emphasizes consistency that allows for a gentle and natural progression when training horses, which also translates into her teaching style that reinforces a strong foundation of riding basics and instills confidence in her students. Wendy enjoys sharing her horsemanship knowledge as she produces educated riders of all levels.
