Ila Handy,
a USDF Bronze medalist, grew up riding and
surrounded by her family’s horses in Northern
California and in New England, trying a variety of
disciplines (western pleasure, jumping, 4H horse
activities). She discovered dressage through
eventing and was immediatley drawn to the
elegance of the sport and the emphasis on
harmony between horse and rider.
She rode with Sue Roberto as a working student
and became her assistant trainer, and then went
on to ride with Christopher Hickey, Volker
Bromman and Tom Noone. She graduated suma
cum laude from Fitchburg State College with an
interdicsiplinary degree in Theatre, Dance and
Fine Art and attended Circle in the Square
Theatre School in New York, all the while riding
and instructing at various stables in
Massachusetts and New York. Her passions for
performance and dressage led her to perform with
the ‘World Famous Lipizzaner Stallions’ and then
‘Cavalia’ for three years. Since 'landing' in the
Memphis area she's been blessed to work again
with Volker and Tom, and has had the opportunity
to work with Karl Mikolka and Debbie Hill- among
others.
Ila is a positive, energetic teacher and trainer who
loves sharing her passion for dressage. She
emphasizes the importance of good basics for
riders and their horses. She is a yoga enthusiast
and her experience of practicing yoga for six years
has greatly influenced her riding, and advocates
the use of breath, awareness and balance with her
students.
