Member Feature: Avery Klein
Avery Klein’s dressage journey began far from the traditional path, shaped by early ranch life and a deep belief in putting the horse first. Now training with Larisa Mantor and Albrecht Heidemann, she has quickly made her mark in the dressage arena while continuing to grow alongside her talented young partner, Georgi, a Glamourdale son with a puppy-dog personality. Balancing life in the saddle with her studies at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, Avery values the strong Santa Barbara
