Andrea is the owner, head trainer, and instructor at Blue Star Farms. She has almost 40 years of horse experience and extensive knowledge of riding, training and caring for horses and ponies.
She has successfully trained and ridden at the "A" circuit level horse shows in Hunters, Jumpers & Equitation. Andrea has also
bred horses (of many breeds) and worked with thoroughbreds both on the farm and at the racetrack. In addition, Andrea is a certified and experienced equine appraiser.
Today, Andrea teaches and trains students and horses at her farm, Blue Star Farms, in Tivoli, NY. In addition, Andrea coaches and trains the Bard College
intercollegiate
Equestrian team. The team competes regularly during the season at "IHSA" (Intercollegiate Horse Show Association) shows.
Throughout the year, Andrea trains many horses, ponies and students with varying levels of experience. Her vast background includes riding and training with top
international Grand Prix Rider "Norman Dello Joio", hall of famer "Harry DeLeyer", and "Rebecca Langwost" (dressage trainer) among other notable equestrians.
With decades of experience, Andrea can successfully teach you and your horse, whether you are a novice or an advanced rider.
Andrea seeks to combine the best of everything she has learned through her work with Hunters, Jumpers, Equitation, Race Horses, breaking and working with green horses, horses that need re-training or horses that have other problems. She uses natural horsmanship along with proven basics to keep the horse and humans happy in mind, body and spirit.
In Andrea's own words: "I love to teach. I try to be positive to help you and the horse achieve maximum potential. Even though I feel I am very experienced, I try to keep an open mind
and feel there is still always more to learn. This allow me to continually progress so that I can better communicate with my horses and students."
" I try to provide an environment where you will learn, work hard and have fun."
" Thank you." -- Andrea Nussinow.
