The Sporthorse Forum

Sporthorse Forum

Welcome to Sporthorse Forum!

This is a site where you can ask questions about training, showing and horse management from someone who has been in the industry for over 20 years. I am engaged to an Air Force officer, which takes me all over the country, so I created this website to stay in touch with old students, meet new ones and just to provide help and information to other equestrians in need.

Please get in touch to offer comments and join my mailing list.

My Bio:

Pearlie Jeffers has been riding since she was 4 years old and teaching horseback riding since she was 17. She attends instructor clinics regularly, including the Pony Club Instructors' Clinic, the George Morris Instructors' Clinic and the ICP for the US Eventing Association (as a demo rider and auditor). Pearlie has dual citizenship (US and Danish), and she grew up visiting Europe every summer. She rode extensively in Denmark and showed in dressage and jumpers there. Pearlie also rode in Pony Club as a child, where she learned valuable lessons about horse management and correct, balanced riding and earned her C-3 rating. She competed in hunter/jumpers in high school and college. She competed in IEL (Interscholastic Equestrian League) for Polytechnic High School in Pasadena, and she also competed in IHSA (Intercollegiate Horse Show Association) for the University of Southern California. She started 3-day eventing in college and has competed up to Preliminary level. Her goal is to compete at the international level in both 3-day eventing and dressage. She has also fox hunted and enjoys riding her horses in the open. She believes in cross-training the horse, and her goal for her training program is to create happy, well-rounded horses and riders. She continues her own education by riding with international level riders and trainers in both dressage and eventing, such as Jimmy Wofford, Jil Walton and Karen O'Conner. She recently apprenticed under Grand Prix dressage rider Kristine White and has ridden up to Fourth Level.

Thanks for visiting!
