Elizabeth "Liz" Maitland joined the CSF staff in August of 2011. She started riding at the young age of 4 and advanced faster than her parents ever imagined. By age 6 she owned her first purebred Arabian horse and was showing. This early training awarded her many opportunities to compete on a local as well national level, from USEF "A" shows to USDF/CDI rated competitions. She has spent the past 20 years riding, teaching, and training hunter pleasure, equitation and dressage. Never tiring of being at the barn, her work experience has taken her from small barns of 3 to 4 horses, to large barns of up to 50. Having trained under a top sport horse and dressage trainer in the South as well as with a top trainer in California, her professionalism, natural talent and passion make her a wonderful addition to CSF. She applies this passion and unconditional love of horses and training to all that she touches.

Her manners, compassion, and care, along with her love for horses, are unsurpassed. Under her adept instruction, you will learn from the ground up - basic horse care, health, tack and all of the other necessary details.
