F.E.I. competitor, Claudia Roberts, is the founder of Pacific Dressage and began her training barn over twenty-five years ago with the intent of providing riders with the knowledge and confidence they needed to become better partners with their horses.

Ms. Roberts is a graduate of the USDF ‘L’ program which allows her to judge schooling dressage shows. She has also earned the USDF Silver and Bronze Medals and numerous national placings, including 4th at Second Level nationally for the USDF/USEF

Prior to becoming a professional trainer, Ms. Roberts practiced as a psychotherapist for fifteen years which gives her a unique background for the horse industry. Ms. Roberts is fluent in Spanish as well, as she was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Claudia provides clients with a number of different training options depending on the client’s and horse’s needs. For the competitive student, a number of rated Dressage shows are attended each year and clinics are held with known clinicians throughout the year. She also teaches western dressage and working equitation.

Any level of rider is welcomed by Claudia, as well as any breed or age of horse. Her philosophy is that dressage, when taught correctly by utilizing the classical training scale, can benefit any horse and rider in any discipline.

Pacific Dressage is also a big promoter of schooling shows and hosts a classical dressage, western dressage and working equitation schooling show series in Thousand Oaks with six shows scheduled for 2026!
