Head Trainer: Audrey Graham

Audrey Graham is a Southeast Michigan native who fell in love with horses before she could

even reach the stirrups. Riding since the age of five, her passion for equestrianship has taken

her from local rings to working alongside some of the top names in the industry.

After completing her junior years, Audrey packed her boots and headed to Reno, Nevada, to

learn from renowned trainer and judge Julie Winkel. Through Maplewood Stables’ Horse

Industry Training Program, she spent three incredible years soaking up knowledge from

mentors like Linda Allen and course designer Meghan Rawlins, as well as judges and clinicians

nationwide.

Since returning home to Michigan in 2021, Audrey has had the joy of working with amazing

trainers across the state. Whether coaching high-spirited IEA and IHSA teams, guiding young

horses through their very first show courses across the Midwest, or helping riders build

confidence in the saddle, her goal is always to foster strong, trusting partnerships between

horse and rider.

With extensive experience as both a competitor and coach, Audrey brings deep industry

knowledge to every aspect of her work. From foundational horsemanship to competing in the

1.20m jumpers, she is dedicated to creating a supportive, goal-oriented environment where

horses and riders can truly thrive—whether in the barn during daily lessons or in the show ring.
