Madelyn Lemus (she/her) was born and raised in California, where she rode a horse for the first time at age 4 tagging along to lessons with her older sister. The love was immediate.

Madelyn began showing in high school with her school’s Interscholastic Equestrian Association team, where she earned a national champion title for equitation over fences in her freshman year. She continued showing on the A-circuit in the hunter, jumper, and equitation rings. While training at multiple show barns, she developed the skills to work with young horses along their journey from pasture to the show ring. She has had the fortune of improving her skills under the training of top clinicians including George Morris and Anne Kursinski. Outside of training, she spent her remaining free time volunteering at therapeutic riding centers.

She began teaching beginner and intermediate lessons while away at college, working towards earning her bachelors degrees in Psychology and Philosophy at Loyola Marymount University. Since graduating, she has spent the past 5 years working in tech, which brought her to seek riding again to spend more time outside.

With a strong show background and interest in education, Madelyn is excited to share her passion for horses with riders of all levels.
