About the Trainer

Blue Rider Farm offers lessons in jumping and dressage. 

"I am happy to introduce my students to the sport of Eventing, in which I compete.  I help students achieve their goals, whether they want to move up to the next level of jumping or eventing, learn how to ride dressage, or improve position and clarify aids." 

Blue Rider Farm's owner, trainer, and instructor is Devin Robel.

"I have been competing for 24 years. I have competed at the Intermediate level in Eventing, as well as completing an international One Star event.  My goal is to compete at Rolex Horse Trials in Kentucky, the only International Four Star in the United States.  I regulary clinic with top trainers such as Leslie Law, gold medalist at Athens Olympics in Eventing and John Williams, USA team bronze at Athens Olympics in Eventing.  I take lessons with local trainers to improve my skills and broaden my teaching tecniques.  Some of my trainers are Marcy Chapman, a Grand Prix dressage rider with her sights on the World Equestrian Games,  Shirley Aronson, long time eventer who has competed through the Three Star level and still regularly campaigns many young horses up the levels, and Karianne Boyce-Lockhart, a Grand Prix Jumper rider competing in the Northwest."
