    About Tom Noone

    Tom Noone brings exceptional depth of experience to every lesson, having trained more than fifteen horses from their first rides all the way to Grand Prix—across a wide range of breeds. He has represented the United States three times on the international stage, including at the World Cup in Denmark, and has earned national titles at every level of dressage.

    Actively riding and teaching six to seven days a week, Tom tailors his approach to each horse-and-rider pair, working successfully with all levels from beginners to advanced riders. Known for his positive, engaging style, he combines technical precision with an encouraging, supportive atmosphere—making him not only highly effective, but genuinely enjoyable to learn from.


    Beth was the initial editor for Dressage Today magazine beginning in 1994, and she later served as their technical editor for more than twenty years. In that capacity, she was in constant contact with the best dressage riders in the world as they wrote about the technical aspects of dressage. From this depth of knowledge, she wrote When Two Spines Align: Dressage Dynamics, which was released in 2014 by Trafalgar Square books and in 2020, the sequel, How Two Minds Meet, came ouBeth is on the Board of Directors of The Dressage Foundation (TDF) and has served as President and CEO since 2014. Based in Lincoln, Nebraska, TDF is on a mission to cultivate and provide financial support for the advancement of dressage. To that end, TDF awards grants, scholarships and prizes to promising riders, instructors, trainers, judges and breeders of dressage horses.

No horse required!
