Michelle Noland started riding at age seven in Seeley
Lake, Montana.

Her early years were spent on her Tennesee Walker,
Domino, where she earned many blues in Montana state
shows at age 10 and 11. She then showed quarter horse
for the next few years, finishing second in Montana in
Youth Western Pleasure, earning a trip to the World
Youth Show in Fort Worth at age 14. After that she
switched to hunter/jumpers.

At 16, she was accepted as a working student at EWSZ
in London, Ontario, Canada. This is a full service
breeding, training and sales facility standing 10
warmblood stallions and specializing in dressage and
hunter/jumpers.

After returning to the States, she worked with Lisa
Grossi in Bozeman, Montana, helping with her breeding
program utilizing embryonic transplants. Then she
signed on as a working student with Michelle Lauber at
Legacy Hills Farms in Castle Rock, Colorado, where she
studied dressage and trained imported German horses
daily.

Later she signed on as assistant trainer at Plum Creek
Hollow, just south of Castle Rock in Larkspur,
Colorado. This well known facility specialized in
imported German hunter/jumpers. On a daily basis she
rode and jumped 5-8 horses, training them for resale,
and assisting at A circuit shows and clinics.

In 2004 she joined her parents in Fort Worth where she
created her own program with Confederate Park Farms.
She has considerable experience in sales, training and
instruction, with her students in the ribbons at area
shows. Her focus today is about teaching, showing and
developing an equestrian program designed for all
riders, of all ages and abilities.
