About Head Trainer Kerensa Muller
Born and raised in Holland, Kerensa received her strong dressage background at the Dutch Riding Academy in Deurne, Holland, after which she was immediately hired as a Bereiter by Sjef Janssen, the current coach and trainer of the Dutch Dressage Team. It was under his watchful eye that Kerensa started her successful training and show career.
Spending one season abroad at the winter circuit in Wellington, Florida, Kerensa decided to move to the States and continue her dressage education under the tutelage of successful Grand Prix rider and trainer Carole Grant, the former wife of the legendary Chuck Grant. While spending summers in Michigan and winters in Florida, Kerensa managed to earn her Masters Degree in Psychology, giving her an edge in teaching strategies.
After working with Carole for five years, Kerensa ventured out and established her own successful training business in Wellington, Florida. Her approachability and teaching techniques make her a sought-after and well-respected clinician in the Southeast as well as in the Midwest. It is her psychology background that sets her apart from other trainers, as she uses this understanding of the psyche to improve the communication between rider and horse. “It is important to me that my students go home with a clear understanding of their own strengths and weaknesses as well as their horses’, and that they understand cause and effect. With the proper tools under their belt, they are then capable of emulating the lesson whether I am there or not. They learn to think, feel and solve reoccurring problems themselves.”
A successful competitor herself, Kerensa continuously strives to improve herself. She has ridden with some of the best international trainers and clinicians; such as Ashley Holzer, an Olympian and current member of the Canadian Team; Debbie McDonalds, Monica Theodorescu, Henk van Bergen, Jan Brons, Steffen Peters and many more.
She holds several awards, including MDA Awards in FEI level, USDF Bronze and Silver medals; multiple high-score awards, including those at the Region 3 Championships in 2009 where she also won the Trilogy Best Seat.
Boarding Services available at MWW
We offer different levels of service and packages for our clients. As seen on the About the Farm page, we offer a world-class facility with the flexibility that suits your horse, training and your budget. Your horse will live in luxury, enjoying the earth-mimicking stall system, top quality shavings, hay (core samples pulled and tested for nutritional information) and barn circulation system. Stalls are picked four times per day/night with fresh water and hay constantly available. Each horse receives a tack trunk, saddle, bridle, and boot racks. All vaccinations, worming, etc. are meticulously tracked via backed-up equine computer software. And, to top it off… world-class clinics and symposiums, GOV inspections and an on-site breed/dressage show with FEI and Young Horse classes!
