Michelle Reilly began riding horses as a teenager and quickly realized she had a natural gift for riding. Michelle started competing as a hunter jumper but gravitated to the more refined sport of dressage after five years of jumping.

Michelle has been competing in dressage for over ten years. Michelle's exceptional talent for dressage was clear right away as she brought along her first dressage horse from training level to grand prix in just six years, earning USDF gold, silver and bronze medals along the way.

Beginning her career based in Scottsdale, AZ at Robert's Ranch, Michelle won many Arizona state and USDF Region 5 titles and founded Mountain View Dressage to begin training horses and riders. Michelle now shows throughout the West coast region, competing on the international stage since 2010.

In 2011, Michelle is a world ranked FEI competitor. There is no doubt that with Michelle's talent, dedication and passion she will be among the top competitors in the USA in coming years.
