Tiffany Kreider
American Member at Large
A French classical rider since meeting Craig and Mary Anne in 2012, Tiffany was drawn to the work through her love of riding and heraldic arts— but found that once she began working with Craig and Mary Anne this recreated her understanding of riding entirely. She’s been ‘hooked’ ever since. And still loves the knightly arts! But now she’s found exhibiting swordplay on the ground as she enjoys the fun of riding with Navarre without the pressure of exhibition.
Kathy Richardson
Treasurer
Kathy has been a classical rider since 2012. A student of both Mary Anne and Craig. Kathy owns two horses that work in this method. She is also certified as an equine personal coach, working with non-horsemen to facilitate change through interactions with horses.
Allison Lekas
Secretary
Allison has ridden with Mary Anne since 2012 and assisted her with training and teaching at the home barn in Snohomish. She enjoys the depth of connection and continuing learning that is found in this old French approach, and finds it applicable in human-to-human communication too.
