Gayle Smith Dressage
Horses
have been a passion for Gayle Smith since early childhood.
She started riding at the age of seven and began her career in dressage
at age 10.
In
1993 Gayle rode as a member of the USDF Young Rider Team, winners that
year of the silver medal. After her success with Young Riders, Willy
Arts offered Gayle the opportunity to be a working student at DG Bar

of dressage training. After that intensive year, Gayle made the decision
to become a professional. Since then she has continued her dedication
to become the outstanding rider, trainer and instructor that she is
