Education

After years of harassing her parents every time that they would pass a horse training stable her mother finally gave in and let her start taking lessons at the age of 8. Over the years she has worked with an impressive list of trainers such as a year in California with Olympian Hilda Gurney at the age of 15. For four years she worked with US International rider George Williams at Tempel Farms in Wadsworth, Illinois. Megan has been a clinic participant with Conrad Schumacher, Olympians Steffen Peters, Michelle Gibson, Lisa Wilcox, Lars Peterson and Olympic judge Anne Gribbons, Betsy Steiner, Mette Rosencranz, and Jeff Moore. She was also a participant in the Wisconsin State Horse Council’s Olympic program as well as the 2006 Hilltop Young Horse Symposium. From 2003-2005 she attended the Graduated Young Ride Programs.

In 2000, Megan established her own dressage training and sales business, Lindinhof Equine Sports Zentrum. She likes to work with all types of horses and riders and enjoys helping rider’s find horses that enable them to follow their dreams. In the winters of 2006 & 2007, Megan was very fortunate to have been sponsored to train with her mentor, Olympian Christine Traurig in California. Also in 2007, Megan and her horse, No Doubt, competed successfully at Dressage at Devon, the most prestigious show in the USA where 14 countries come to compete. They placed 11th in the I-1 and qualified for the Freestyle. They were also WDCTA’s Grand Champions at PSG & I-1 levels.
