About Adrian
Originally from Louisiana, Adrian taught and supervised the Tulane University riding program for 3 years before moving to Maryland and obtaining his trainer's certification from the Maryland Horse Center. He was assistant to Grand Prix dressage trainer Elizabeth Madlener for several years and went on to work with Olympian Anne Kursinski as her barn manager. He gave riding instruction at several Potomac stables, and then established Big Easy Farms where he currently trains riders and horses. Adrian believes learning is a life-long process, and takes clinics with Olympians such as Jim Wofford, Joe Fargis, Michael Matz and George Morris.
