Barbara Filippelli: Trainer and owner of Valley Pond Farm Inc, started riding at age 10 as a lesson kid at Saddletree Farm in Bronxville NY, now Twin Lakes Farm. She’s pretty sure that she started teaching a month later, but this has been disputed.

As a professional for over 40 years, Barb is also a “R” Judge (1991) in H/J/HE/HB as well as an FEI level 1 jumper judge.

Her mission as a trainer is to develop riders who are knowledgeable of correct basics as well as equine biomechanics and how horses “think”.

Joyce Muller: Barn manager has 35 years experience working in the horse industry.  She started grooming for an upper level event barn and then moved to the hunter/jumper world. She spent 14 years on the AA circuit caring for everything from ponies to grand prix jumpers. Joyce is passionate and goes that extra mile to keep the horses happy and well cared for.
