Lindy Kinsman has been obsessed with horses and has ridden ever since she could walk. She began learning dressage when she was 11 and it quickly became her passion. Her goal was to learn all she could to one day become a top trainer and competitor. She apprenticed with Larisa Mantor full time for 6 years starting when she was 13, home schooling through high school. Lindy has taken regular clinics with her mentor, Albrecht Heidemann, since she was 14 as a Jr/YR, and she continues to ride with him today. Lindy has also ridden with top international trainers and competitors such as Christine Traurig, Jan Ebling, Robert Dover, Sabine Schut-Kery and Oliver Oelrich (while in Germany).
