Silke Rembacz - About
Us:
Silke grew up near Bremen,
Germany where here parents introduced horses to her over
thirty years ago. In 1986 she came to the United States as
an exchange student working for Disney World and although
she planned on studying the field of industrial geology, her
love of horses and innate talent in their training made her
career decision for her. It was while working as Head
Trainer and “Princess” at Medieval Times that she met Lendon
Gray, who became an early mentor to Silke. In addition to
contributing to Silke’s development as a rider/competitor,
Lendon also offered her guidance in her development of Silke
Rembacz Dressage. In 1999 she became a U.S. citizen, and
that same year she qualified and competed in the USET
Intermediare I Championships in Gladstone, NJ, with Susan
Decker Bibbo’s The Summit, winning the Prix St.Georges and
placing second in the Intermediare I. Silke, an active FEI
competitor, has been ranked in the top 12 at Intermediare I
nationally since 1994. Silke is well respected by her peers
within the equine community and has earned a reputation, not
only as a formidable competitor, but also as a source for
the high-quality horses she imports regularly from Europe,
ranging from 3-year-olds through Grand Prix School Masters.
As a coach Silke is
totally focused and devoted to her students. In fact many
of her long time students frequently comment how Silke
appears to be riding every movement of the test along with
them from her spot on the sideline! Silke’s tireless
dedication has helped her riders achieve their goals of
earning their USDF Bronze, Silver and Gold Medals,
qualifying, placing and winning in the The USDF Regional
Championships, Dressage at Devon, NEDA Dressage Festival,
and CDI’s throughout the United States.
Silke has a rare talent
for working with young horses, laying down a solid
foundation of trust and work ethic which ultimately
transforms them into successful competitors as well as
happy, healthy horses. Silke’s approach is comprehensive,
overseeing the total development and wellness of each
individual horse through the creation of a customized
program which includes nutrition, health management and
training. This proven method enhances the horse’s natural
athletic ability and willingness to perform, thereby
maximizing its potential as a riding horse.
Silke is an active member
of the equine community supporting many organizations. For
three years Silke headed up the European Team for The
Challenge of the Americas, benefiting The Breast Cancer
Society. She has also created an annual Adult Amateur
Championship hosted by the ESDCTA, her local GMO, which is
entirely sponsored by Silke Rembacz Dressage.
