Teri began riding at the age of 7 years and horses have been a big part of her life since then. She started in hunter/jumpers and evented her horses Topcat (TC), Carousel Cowboy (Casey), and Impresario (Rio) at the lower levels. She and Impresario are currently competing in dressage at Prix St. Georges.

With over 20 demo County
Saddlery jumping and dressage saddles of various tree/seat sizes
and other options, Teri has the
ability to allow riders to try saddles under no obligation to buy. She has ridden personally in all of the models, so she knows first-hand what each one can do for you!

She has a B.A. in Business Administration and has worked in corporate America for over 20 years in marketing and communications for such giants as IBM, Samsung Electronics, Prudential Insurance, and Merck. Now in her second career, she is fortunate to be able to combine her business knowledge with her passion for horses, as the exclusive sales agent for County Saddlery in the state of New Jersey. She is also a master saddle-fitter, having taken and passed an extensive course conducted by the Master Saddlers Association™ in Maryland.

For 3 years beginning in 1990, Teri was the Organizer for Hilltop Horse Trials in Morristown, NJ, a USCTA recognized event. During that time, she also served as the Fund-Raising Chairman for 3-Day Event rider, Michael Godfrey, helping to raise enough money to send him to England to train with Mark Phillips and ride for the USET at the Burghley CCI****.  Teri also worked as an adjunct professor at Centenary College, coaching the girls' event team in 2003.

In 2001-2002, Prudential Insurance allowed her to setup a home office in Wellington, Florida for two winters, in order that she take advantage of the fabulous opportunity to train with 5-time Olympic rider, Robert Dover. She credits Robert, along with rider Jan Brons with bringing Rio from a  2nd level to FEI horse. After those stints in Florida, she and Rio have continued their progress with help from trainers, Felicitas von Neumann-Cosel and Cathy Morelli.
