Chemaine Hurtado
USDF Gold, Silver, and Bronze Medalist
USDF Gold, Silver, and Bronze Freestyle Bars Recipient
"My first horse memory is watching my sister Jennifer's lessons on a horse named Flash. I was about six years old and would sit on the rail of the arena watching her lesson, longing to ride that amazing horse. It wasn't until I was nine or ten years old that I started taking lessons at my best friend Jennifer Stetter's ranch. Today she is Jennifer Nunes, an excellent amateur rider at my barn." - Chemaine Hurtado
Chemaine Hurtado, trainer and owner of Symphony Dressage Stables, spent her early years riding and training her own horses before eventually taking lessons with the renowned Hilda Gurney. Shortly thereafter, Chemaine began working for Hilda as groom, assistant trainer, and sometimes manager. Chemaine accompanied Hilda to the 1992 Olympic Games in Barcelona, Spain as Hilda's groom and assistant. Chemaine later worked as an assistant for Ludger Thole before taking on her own list of clients. |
Over the years, Chemaine has ridden for many well respected dressage trainers:
Scott Hassler, a former US Equestrian Young Horse Coach Ralf Isselhorst, a former head coach of the Australian Dressage Riding Team and former protégé of the distinguished Reiner Klimke Charlotte Bredahl, well known for her work with USDF Robert Dover, a six-time Olympian and U.S. Dressage Chef d’Equipe/Technical Advisor David Hunt, an Olympic judge and president of the International Dressage Trainers Club Vladamir Tom Valter, team medalist at the Pan American Games Sabine Schut-Kery, well known Grand Prix competitor Christian Schacht, former Breeding Director for the ISR/Oldenburg N.A. |
With her ready smile and infectious laugh, Chemaine can be found doing a lot more than riding and training. She also volunteers her time and energy throughout the Tehachapi area, supports her students at shows, and spends quality time with her family and their menagerie of pets. The miniature horse, Poof, Chloe the pig, several dogs, a cat, chickens, ducks, and a snake make perfect sense when added to Chemaine's already busy life.
