Riding Academy

 A little bit about our riding school director, Brandi Hartdegen;

Brandi has been riding since she was 12. She started out barrel racing but it wasn't long before she discovered her love for jumping. She was a working student for years at a local barn called San Marcos Equestrian Center. At 16 she started teaching lessons for the facility. During this time she continued to show at schooling and county level shows. Later on she decided to expand her business and moved facilities where she trained and ran a riding school for the next 4 years.

In 2004 Brandi just had her first child and came in contact with James and Lindy Waldman. She was looking to work closer to home and they were looking for a riding academy. They all joined up and opened the Quail Haven Farm Riding Academy in August of 2004. Since then Brandi has continued her love for horses by expanding her knowledge in the show world by becoming a learner judge. Now she has come to Legacy Farms with the knowledge and love to establish a safe, family oriented atmosphere where students of all ages can come and learn.
