Our trainers

Teachers first.

Good riders are built by patient teaching: sound basics, honest feedback, and a coach who knows when to push and when to slow down. That's how Ginny and Abbie run every lesson, from first rides to the show ring.

Ginny Dvorak

Helping students of all levels reach their goals, from short stirrup champion to competing at a national level.

Ginny Dvorak was born and raised in Madison and attended UW–Madison. She owns and operates Breakaway Farm in Stoughton, where she works with students of all levels and helps each of them reach their goals, from short stirrup champion to competing at a national level.

Her students have won many state, zone, and national year-end awards. Summers find Ginny on the road with her daughter, trainer Abbie Dvorak-Peat, at A and AA competitions throughout the Midwest.
