Dressage Today S7 E2: Our Inaugural Hometown Hero Interview with Anne Mouen Stahl

In this month’s episode, Stephany and Aviva interview their first Hometown Hero, Anne Mouen Stahl. With more than forty years of experience teaching both amateur and professional riders, Anne has come to appreciate the profound importance of establishing a strong, reliable foundation in every rider’s training. She has been fortunate to train horses and riders through every level of dressage, from Training Level to Grand Prix. This breadth of experience has given her a deep understanding of how to guide riders in the correct execution of dressage exercises as they advance—from the early education of the young horse to the refined work required of the elite dressage athlete.

Anne has a wide background of Dressage education, from riding at Morven Park International Equestrian Center after college to working with various trainers at Tempel Lippizans to her favorite mentor Juan Matute, and has a deep love of bringing horses of all types along, whether they were the typical or atypical horse for Dressage. She uses a progressive, gymnastic approach to developing the dressage horse allows riders to gain a clear and lasting understanding of the fundamental principles of training under her careful systematic training.

We enjoyed getting to know Anne, and we thank Nancy Gilby for submitting her as her hero!

Let’s be honest—no two dressage horses are the same. So it's no surprise their nutrition needs will differ.

Their feeds are backed by a 100% money-back guarantee, made in their own ionophore-free facilities, and are fixed formulas you can trust—so your horse gets consistent nutrition, every ride, every test. And if you’re new to Tribute, your first bag is free, so you can try it with confidence!

KPP

Are you seeing any of the following signs of vitamin E deficiency in your horse—stiff, sore muscles; neurological issues; lack of energy; poorly developed topline; weak immune system? Studies show that vitamin E levels drop when horses don’t have enough access to fresh, green grass.

Elevate® natural vitamin E can help. A research-proven, powerful antioxidant, Elevate maintains healthy muscle, nerve and immune functions. It does this by delivering a highly bioavailable source of natural vitamin E that is preferentially absorbed and retained in a horse’s tissues. Elevate comes in four formulas—a fast-acting, water-soluble liquid; a maintenance powder for long-term care; a concentrated, veterinary-formula powder; and a vitamin E and selenium powder.

Take the stress out of feeding your dressage partner.
