Hello, I’m Alexandra Duncan and welcome to my website. I am building this site for a number of reasons. Before I share them with you, I’d like to thank all those whose support made the path I have chosen possible, in particular my Mom and Dad, without whose support, none of this would have been possible.

Now why I wanted to do this….

Secondly , to give back to a sport that I love by primarily assisting Young Riders in fully understanding the level of dedication commitment and discipline that it takes to become a top level competitive international Dressage Rider. I have a real passion for teaching and working with people of all levels.
Thirdly, riding is all about developing an intuitive relationship with your horse so that you become a true combination in every sense of the word. It’s about patience, caring, understanding and giving of yourself. If it is about taking, then the relationship dynamic with your horse will never develop, and success, satisfaction, and the love of the sport and all that it brings will be elusive at best.

As you are browsing the site remember that while it is mostly about what I have done and am doing, it is not only my site, but a site for all those who have helped along the way. I thank them and I thank you for stopping by.

I talk a lot about my horses, but a huge part of life in Wellington involves the relationships I’ve formed with my clients. One of my loyal clients is an artist, Ann Friedlander, who has an interesting life of her own. I took a moment to sit down with her and talk to her about her life, her art and why riding is so important to her.

How did you start riding?

I was working as an art therapist and a client worked as a groom. I thought I would give riding a try – everyone in my family plays golf but I have no interest! I made an appointment at the local riding academy. I sat with the mothers of the students as we were the same age, then I would have lessons.

Favorite aspect of riding?

I enjoy the daily training of my horses.

Does riding influence your art?

It seems to me that riding influences my whole personal life. It is important to be sensitive, spontaneous, but not impulsive in order to be fair to the horse. My painting process has improved by these traits too. Painting is not about throwing paint on a canvas and expecting a miracle to occur any more than dressage is about climbing on a horse and saying “giddy up!” For me, painting and riding are enthusiastic commitments for greater skill and understanding over a long period of time.

What’s it like living in Wellington?

Living in Wellington is a dream for anyone interested in learning dressage. I have been fortunate to have had wonderful gifted teachers- Linda M Smith, Nancy Later, and you – all of whom have taught me what I need to know.

I have had to reach out of the Wellington area to achieve my artistic goals. I consult currently with my mentor Nicholas Wilton, who is in Sausalito, CA. Then too, I have a group of supportive fellow artists that are scattered around the country with whom I stay in touch by means of a private Facebook page. I am grateful to have a beautiful home and dressage facility that I have been able to develop just outside of Wellington. It is a special place and I enjoy it.
