Ellen Ward

Head Trainer

 

Ellen grew up riding horses in New Jersey where she showed Hunter and Jumpers.  After college she worked at Daniel Sommo's  Black Brook Farm in association with Trainer J. Michael Halbleib.  There she accompanied students to local and rated shows, qualifying many riders and horses for year end awards. During this time she also developed skills in equine care and farm management that are still with her today.

After moving to Georgia she spent several years focused on raising her family. As they got older, she started riding and training on a free lance basis, along with some local judging.  Wanting to get back to her passion full time, she accepted the Manager/Trainer position at Serenity Creek Equestrian Center in 2008. She quickly made a name for herself in the local area.  Her students have become quite accomplished equestrians winning and placing at many local and rated shows. 

Ellen has over 20 years of experience caring for horses, riding, teaching and training hunters/jumpers, equitation and judging. Many lessons and clinics with top trainers have contributed to a well rounded equestrian education that she passes on to her students and boarders. Ellen focuses on helping each student create a system that allows them to get the most out of their relationship with their horse. Individualized programs allow riders to train and improve at all levels, whether they choose to compete or not.  

At Serenity Creek, Ellen has established a lesson and training  program for horse and rider that focuses on establishing goals and working to achieve them. She is diligent at teaching the principles of good horsemanship thereby giving her students a well rounded foundation to build upon.
