Terri Robidas
Terri brings over 35 years of experience to One Above Farm, specializing in riders of all levels, from beginners on the walk-trot to those aiming for the USET and Maclay medals. Her teaching philosophy is rooted in the DeNemethy method, which blends cavaletti work and dressage/flatwork to create a solid foundation for both horse and rider, ensuring success in the show ring.
Whether she's in the saddle or coaching, Terri is passionate about helping riders build confidence, technique, and partnership with their horses. When she's not teaching or riding, you’ll find her enjoying quality time with her own horse, Ewieka.
We’re lucky to have Terri as part of our team, bringing a wealth of knowledge, experience, and dedication to every lesson.
