Growing up with horses, Eiren knew at an early age that she wanted to make a career of working with these special animals. She left Canada in 2002 to be a groom for Lars Petersen, who was then ranked #2 in the world, and never looked back.

​

She stayed in the US until 2008, when she went to Germany to work as Rider for Olympic Gold Medalist, Ingrid Klimke. There she assisted in the development and training of both dressage and three-day event horses. Ingrid’s commitment to conditioning the whole equine athlete is a mainstay of Eiren’s training program, using cavaletti and other cross-training techniques to bring out the best in her dressage horses. 

After her time with Ingrid, Eiren went out on her own and became Head Rider at the breeding station Gestut Letterberg and the international sales barn of Hermann Gösmeier. Eiren accepted a position as Rider with two-time Olympian Morten Thomsen in Denmark, who is renowned for his in-hand and ground work with the horses.   Throughout all of these opportunities, Eiren had the opportunity to develop her skills as a competition rider, from young horses and stallions in qualifications for national championships and breed performance tests, to horses in the performance ring through Grand Prix.

After almost seven years of training and competing in Europe, Eiren moved back to the US and became the head rider and trainer for All Points Dressage.  Based just north of Baltimore, MD and wintering in Florida, All Points Dressage specialized in developing and selling super quality horses for the North American market. During this time Eiren competed successfully at prestigious events like Dressage at Devon (PA) and at the Global Dressage circuit in Wellington (FL).  Along with her own accomplishments, Eiren took pride in helping her working students and clients grow and find success with their horses. From young horse classes to CDI Grand Prix, Eiren was running a busy and successful program. 

​

After 16 years away Eiren returned to Canada, where she spent just over three years in Alberta, developing her own horses and helping her riders achieve their dreams of moving up the levels and achieving FEI success. In the autumn of 2021 Eiren moved All Points Dressage INC to the beautiful Sun Meadows Equestrian Centre in Kamloops, BC.  There she is focusing on developing horses in training and for sale, as well as coaching some dedicated riders.

​

Eiren has remained committed to a busy clinic schedule throughout western Canada and looks forward to coaching again in America once Covid policies allow.
