Although she’s an accomplished rider in the hunter and jumper divisions, Shachine Belle has a true passion for teaching.

When she isn’t traveling to shows up and down the East Coast, Belle can be found at her Belle Equestrian LLC in East Greenwich, R.I., where she works with her equitation students on exercises they’re likely to see at the major finals.

Though this exercise looks simple, for Belle, it’s about making sure the rider can make a decision quickly and smoothly on course.
