TRAINER BRANDI BENEDICT
Brandi Benedict is the resident trainer at SonRise. She has trained with the late Olympic, Pan American Games, and World Championship rider John Winnett in Florida, judge Heidi Berry in Virginia, and USEF Young Horse coach Scott Hassler in Maryland.
Her belief is that all horses can benefit from classical dressage training, whether it is a backyard pleasure horse or a budding FEI prospect. Brandi has extensive experience riding all types of horses in multiple disciplines. She has been very successful in the show ring earning her USDF bronze and silver medals.
