About "Coach Holly"
Director of Equestrian Programs for Upper Columbia Conference, Holly splits her time between UCA and Camp MiVoden and oversees both programs. Currently she manages a herd of over 30, a summer staff of over 15, an academy staff of 2, and all the programming, equipment, and tack that goes with it.
Undergraduate degree in English and Music earned from Walla Walla University; Graduate degree earned from Whitworth College with a Master’s in teaching. Holly has earned 21 years of experience in high school public education and over 30 years as a professional coach, instructor, clinician, judge, and rater in the equine industry.
Holly has a lot of experience in both the art of teaching and specifically in instructing both horses and riders as they grow to meet their goals. As a rider Holly has experience in lessons/competition in reining, cutting, working cow horse, working equitation (western, English, and Australian stock seats), dressage, jumping, and eventing or horse trials. She is currently between horses as she retires her Percheron/TB cross eventer and starts her old Australian Stockhorse. Holly loves sharing her love of riding and horses with others more than anything else.
