ADULT AMATEUR STUDENT:
"I was lucky to have my introduction to riding with Mike at age 40. Since teaching me how to tack up a horse, we've worked together for 20 years with 3 different horses. I purchased my current horse about 8 years ago, and she had a nice walk, trot and canter but not much other than a pretty hot disposition! Mike helped me bring her up through the levels and, last year, we got our Silver USDF medal. This year, I received my qualifyng I-1 scores, and we're now working on the Grand Prix. I could never have realized this dream without Mike's coaching and support."
FEI RIDER AND US "S" JUDGE:
"I have known Mike Pineo for two years. In this amount of time I have gotten to know him as a horseman and trainer. Mike has a talent and gift for training horses in the high levels of Dressage, especially for Piaffe, Passage and Pirouettes. I have observed Mike showing successfully at the Grand Prix Level in Wellington Florida on more than one horse. Mike has worked with me to start the piaffe on my training horses, and I have also sat on his horses and felt the result of his training.
Mike is a sensitive calm person and has a way of incorporating this character into his training. His horses are calm and understand the clear aids.
I am sure you will be happy with the results of his training and coaching skills."
INTERNATIONAL RIDER, TRAINER, CLINCIAN:
"I am an "S" Judge Dressage in the US and Canada. I have also Judged in Germany. I have trained in Germany with Willi Schultheis,Dr. Klimke and in Switzerland with Wolfgang Niggly, Christine Stueckelberger and Georg Wahl who have also come to my Training center to give Clinics.
As both a Judge and Clinician, I have had the pleasure to work with Michael Pineo. He is an excellent trainer and has brought many horses up to Grand Prix. He is a genius and able to make most any horse Passage and Piaffe! He understands the horse's mind and natural instincts producing the highest movements effortlessly.
I coached him on several horses, that he started and finished all the way to Grand Prix and competed successfully showing true collection, getting a 10 for Piaffe.
I can highly recommend him for his character and his commitment to the sport as both a trainer and coach."
“That inspiration comes, does not depend on me. The only thing I can do is make sure it catches me working.”
