Riding Philosophy
Nicole Epelstein is passionate about racing thoroughbreds. She loves breaking yearlings and watching them grow into amazing horses. Nicole belives the that connection between horse and rider is essential for correct training and success as a team. She believes in treating horses with kindness and patience to be able to create long lasting bonds. Nicole has experience with yearlings and noticed that shaping their behavior is easy and extremely rewarding. As a trainer she belives in keeping the mind and the body engaged, her training focuses on a mix of both and challenges horses both mentally and physically.
Nicole Epelstein as a coach has a similar philosophy, she believes its important to maintain both the body and the mind working. She is strict but loves to see her students progress and understand difficult concepts. Nicole will push students to become the best they can and will be happy to send them places to further their education. She is all about the success of her students and horses.
ABOUT ME
Since I was young I have always loved horses. With time and countless hours of study, I turned my hobby into a job. I will be graduating from SCAD in May 2022 with an Equestrian Studies major and a minor in business. I was born and raised in Mexico City and have been riding since I was 6. I got involved in the racing industry when I was 17 and it quickly became my passion.
My goal is to someday have a breeding barn for thoroughbreds.
