DEVELOPING healthy Happy horses and riders.

Sister-team Carolyn Mort and Christina Mendez are the trusted trainers at Winterbrook Ranch to help develop happy, healthy horses and riders in and out of the dressage arena.

FEI level rider and USDF Silver Medalist Carolyn Ray Mort is a skilled communicator with both horses and riders. Horses in training with Carolyn love to work and excel in the show ring. Riders gain confidence and skills under her patient instruction. Carolyn applies principles of both dressage and natural horsemanship for optimal training benefits. Carolyn has bred and raised her own warmbloods, successfully competing in the young horse arenas. In addition to her focus on warmbloods she has worked with a variety of breeds. She has a special heart for Icelandic ponies and a talent for bringing out the athletic abilities in Friesians.

Christina Mendez is both an experienced trainer and a certified equine sportsmassage therapist. Competitive in both dressage and western dressage, her passion is developing equine athletes that thrive in the relationship created with their riders. Christina builds confidence, strength and balance in young horses with her patience and clear direction. Christina’s diligence to help older horses maintain active lives gives honor to these athletes beyond their competitive years. Christina enjoys the intelligent and affectionate nature of such breeds as Warmbloods, Gypsy Vanners, Haflingers, Andalusians, Lusitanos and Arabians and believes they can all be dressage stars.
