C. A. Eventing is the coaching and training program of Cathryn Alexa Brekken, focusing on producing Three-Day Eventing, Jumper, and Dressage horses and riders. The program implements a "horse-first" mentality; always putting each horse's individual care first when it comes to training, conditioning, and competition. Cathryn Alexa specializes in Three-Day eventing but also competes professionally in USHJA Jumpers and USDF dressage competitions. Because of this, she is able to offer expert coaching and training based on each horse and rider's unique goals. Horses flourish in a program that can be tailored to their specific strengths. With over 20 years of experience, Cathryn has developed training techniques that are tried, true, and tested! C. A. Eventing offers a range of services from starting horses to show coaching, and everything in between.
"I began riding at an early age through the United States Pony Club. This early introduction to horse management and Three-Day Eventing has become a life-long passion for me. Three-Day Eventing is the supreme test of both equine and human athletes. It takes an incredible amount of hard work and dedication to produce horses and riders in this sport. I am very proud of the support and teammates C. A. Eventing is developing. I want to invite you to learn about what we do and follow our progress on this site as well as our Facebook page."

"My horse has rehabilitated in and now thrives in the CAE program. Alexa tailors lessons to the level and physical abilities of both horse and rider. She encourages equestrian growth without shortcuts or pushing the horse/rider beyond their abilities on any given day. She is an upbeat woman who recognizes effort and the "good," as well as give suggestions for improvement that don't feel critical or negative but as ways to build on current skills."

Thank you Stony River for building and opening to the public a great cross country course. It is great to have a place to school with water and ditches as well as skinnies, tables, chevrons and jumps with adjustable heights. The footing was fantastic even after a big rain storm and because it is good soil I think it will be fine in the summer too. This is a much needed addition to our local eventing community.
