Richard Lamb For over 35 years, Richard Lamb has been training, riding, competing, coaching and
conducting clinics, working with all levels of young riders as well as adult riders. Some of his students
have been competing at the CCI 2* , CCI 3* and CCI 4*levels. Richard is certified at Level III in the USEA
Instructor Certification Program (ICP). He is a National Examiner of the US Pony Clubs.
Since 2002, he also has served as the Chef d’Equipe and/or the Coach of the US Pony Club Team at the
USEF National Pony Jumper Championships where they have won Team and Individual Medals. In 2014
the Pony Club team won the Gold Medal in both the Team and Individual Competitions. And he has for
many years successfully prepared and coached many riders for the Jumper, Equitation and Hunter
divisions at USEF Horse Shows.
Richard also has extensive experience as a Show Jumping Course Designer for Eventing and Jumper
Competitions, building courses for eventing competitions such as The Foxhall Cup CCI*** (’00 – ’05), the
Jackson Hole Horse Trials in Jackson, WY, and for The USPC Championships for over 20 years. He also
helped develop the Georgia International Horse Park and organize the Equestrian Competitions for the
1996 Atlanta Olympic Games in Conyers, GA, where he was Technical Coordinator for Show Jumping.
And in 2012 Richard traveled to London where he coached members of the US Olympic Modern
Pentathlon (MP)Team in the Riding Event.
Philosophy: Emphasis on Balance
Richard’s teaching focuses on the classical basics of rhythm,
relaxation and balance, and believes strongly that our control of these concepts directly correlates with
our training and performing success - whether we are beginning or advanced riders.
Our horses are only as balanced as we are.... No matter what hat we are wearing or what saddle we are
sitting in, our ‘self carriage’ determines our horses’ ‘self carriage’. Horses naturally want to move in
balance and once we find the appropriate dynamic balance within our own body, our horses move more
easily no matter what we ask of them. Richard helps riders learn to let go to use their aids and skills in
order to move with and not against their horses on the flat and over fences. More information about
Richard and his methods of instruction can be found on his website: http://www.ridinginbalance.com
