“I have long been impressed with Yvonne Barteau,” writes Irene Michaels for the Huff Post. “Being over 50, she has inspired me to keep working hard on my horsemanship and has humbled me by the knowledge she is able to share. I am impressed by her dedication to her craft and also to maintaining a healthy work-life balance. She has built both a career and a loving home.”
With another busy season training horses and riders, as well as the upcoming release of her new book THE DRESSAGE HORSE MANIFESTO, Barteau has a big year in store. The Huff Post piece by Irene Michaels and an iONTHESCENE feature highlighting Barteau’s backstory by Leigh Redmond celebrate her achievements and recognize the lifetime she has invested in teaching others the art of horsemanship through riding instruction, spirited live performances, and insightful books.
Like Michaels and Redmond, we at TSB love the sense of fun Yvonne Barteau brings to the dressage ring, as well as her honest and heartfelt concern for the horses she works with. When in her company, her energy and positivity is tangible and contagious. And Barteau’s desire to share the beauty of the horse’s form and movement with others is apparent both in the competitive arena and in the creative exhibitions she performs with her family.

And enjoy this charming video of Barteau and her Grand Prix stallion “Ray”—you’ll see how they enjoy their time together, in and out of the ring, in front of an audience, or just out for a graze or a roll.
