About
Quiet, correct riding — proven on the centerline.
Madison's foundation was built in the Midwest with Forrest Hill Farm & Kaiser Dressage of Lafayette, Indiana. By 2015 she had placed in all four of her USDF Region 4 championship classes and earned an invitation to the US Dressage Finals in Kentucky, where she rode in the First Level Freestyle championship.
As a professional in Atlanta, she served as head dressage trainer at Seventh Hand Farm in Alpharetta before founding her own program. In 2023 she was one of four young professionals nationwide awarded a Dressage Foundation grant to attend the USDF/USEF Young Rider Graduate Program, and that same year she graduated from the USDF L Education Program with distinction — bringing a judge's eye to every training ride and lesson.
Today Madison rides out of Little Creek Horse Farm & Park in Decatur and competes her own Don Derico at Intermediate II — a horse she has developed herself, level by level, from Fourth Level to the FEI small tour.

Three smooth, well-balanced gaits and a famously laid-back temperament — no buck, rear, bolt, or spook, and he has never needed a lunge. Honest and tolerant of mistakes, KB is also well trained to drive and suitable for a breeding program.
