Margo Hepner-Hart has been a trainer for over 30 years for Arabians, half Arabians, Saddlebreds, Friesians, and many other breeds. Training in driving, English pleasure, western pleasure, dressage, saddle seat, equitation, and showmanship.
 
As a youth she showed hunter/jumper and eventing in Canada at big shows with 30-40 horses in each class.
 
As time went on she decided that dressage was her true calling and went head on into the dressage field. Took from the best trainers from Germany, and was very successful in the show ring.
 
After she finished school she kept on with her education for dressage and started her own training facility. She was given a grant thru the USET to further her studies abroad. She then studied in Germany with Gerhard Politz for several months and then a couple of years later, Mr. Politz moved to California and she then moved there and worked for him as his assistant trainer.  Then moved back to her own facility.
 
Since back home she has been in the successful business of training, instructing and judging horse shows nationally and internationally.
 
In her own barn she shows 5 gaited Saddlebreds, Dressage, Park, and English Pleasure, with half Arabs. And for the fun of it has mini donkeys and a mule and various other animals to keep things interesting.
