Leahona is a Level 2 EC coach who was long listed to the Canadian National Eventing Team in 2011.  Leahona rode and worked for Canadian Eventing Team Rider Penny Rowland, and then later Peter Grey, a top eventing coach and Canadian Olympian.  She has also trained with David O'Connor (three time U.S. Olympian and current Canadian Team coach), and traveled to England for a year to train with top riders and coaches including Mark and Sandy Phillips, Andrew Hoy, Tiny Clapham, and William Fox-Pitt who won Rolex Kentucky CCI**** in 2011.

Whether it be coaching a student, or riding a horse, Leahona believes that training for both horse and rider needs to be clear and to the point.  Keeping the training "black and white" allows for natural and correct progression.  Integral to this formula is effective communication, patience, and an authentic willingness to "listen".
