Eva Eggert
Assistant Trainer/Volunteer Coordinator
Eva joined the riding school team summer 2020. She has been riding her whole life with a focus in natural horsemanship and dressage. Her goal is to give students a strong foundation in riding through learning communication, grounding and safety. By creating a welcoming, educational and fun environment, she wants to ensure that all her students find a second home at the barn.
Michelle Pyle
Michelle has been riding, showing and generally crazy about horses since she was a girl. Her varied background includes competition in gymkhana, performance and dressage. A firm believer that there is always more to learn with horses, Michelle works to continually improve her knowledge by attending horsemanship clinics and receiving coaching in hunter/jumper and dressage. Michelle's goal as an instructor is to develop confident riders who are effective communicators with their horses and hopefully crazy about them too!
Paige Newman
Paige teaches and trains horses with a focus on biomechanics and horsemanship with an emphasis on groundwork. She studies under Celeste Lazarus’s Balance Through Movement Master Class program and Jolene Duncan’s Paradox Horsemanship. Paige grew up riding horses and volunteering at a therapeutic riding barn for individuals with disabilities. She continued riding in college for the University of Washington Equestrian team. She is excited to bring her passion for learning to the RockMeadow Riding School and enhance students’ overall horsemanship skills.
Liz Yanev
Pony Class/Pony Camp Instructor
Rock Meadow is Liz’s happy place! Liz started riding at Evergreen Equestrian Center when she was 10 years old. The barn was her sanctuary as she learned how to ride different types of horses, learned to jump over fences, clean stalls, and went on long trail rides in Bridle Trails. Her two daughters love riding and volunteering at RockMeadow. Teaching pony classes and pony camp is something she enjoys!
