Andrea’s passion for horses has been a lifelong affair. Today she operates Alpine Showjumpers, leveraging her experience from green-breaking to Grand Prix. Andrea has a diverse list of passions within the equestrian industry, one of which is her love of buying and selling horses. She has imported many horses over the years for herself and clients. Her good eye and trustworthy contacts have allowed her to become an expert in matching horses with riders. Her passion for coaching is accredited to her ever progressing equestrian resume, which began at a young age learning horsemanship fundamentals at DeWinton Pony Club to working under the tutelage of some of North Americas top riders, breeders and coaches (click below to see more info)
For the past 15 years Andrea has developed her "ALPINE SYSTEM" of language and exercises that offer a consistent & classical framework that produces results for top sport. This is who Alpine Show Jumpers is today.

What People Say
My friends and clients know that when we show up at Alpine Show Jumpers, that we are going to see quality horses at fair market prices. Andrea pays very close attention to the smallest details. If you are shopping for a hunter, you will find her hunters turned out as if they were ready to walk into the show ring; braided and in their finest hunter gear. Andrea is always honest, accommodating and such a delight to do business with. Andrea understands the stresses of horse sales from the owners and the buyers perspective so she always goes above and beyond to ensure smooth transactions. She is the consummate professional, a beautiful rider and a lovely human being. Her horses are always of the highest quality, and I am yet to find a single hole in one of them. I can’t say enough great things about her, that is why Alpine Show Jumpers is always be a destination for our horse buying needs.
