Shamrock Gregory

I grew up in Marin County and have been madly in love with and riding horses for as long as I can remember. My competitive career has been mostly in barrel racing. I was a Division 1 champion in NBHA and CSHA gymkhana, and won money in the WPRA and CCPRA. My current clients compete in everything from barrels to cowboy dressage to trail trials. When I was 15, Buck Brannaman came to do a clinic at our barn and that ignited my obsession with the study of horsemanship. I continue to study with many talented horsemen & women since I find it so inspiring. Just a few from my long list of favorites are Bryan Neubert, Mark Rashid, and Oscar & Cristobal Scarpati.

My focus when teaching always comes back to good horsemanship. My goal as a trainer is to develop happy, healthy, safe, willing and soft horses and to help people develop consistency, patience and a strong understanding of horses and horsemanship skills. Ultimately, my aim is to create confidence and grace in both horse and rider. I can’t imagine a better way to spend my days than being at this lovely barn, surrounded by nature and people I adore while getting to move and play and be creative with horses. I’m am just so blessed and very grateful. If you are interested in lessons or training with me, you can reach me at 415.328.7388 or shamrockgregory@yahoo.com.

I grew up riding in many different disciplines and became passionate about the sport of three day eventing in my late teens. I was so inspired by the amazing partnership that is required for a horse and rider to compete in eventing. Highlights from my competitive career include riding on the Silver Medal Area Young Riders Team in 1985 and the US Team in the Pan American Games in 1991. I was also short listed for the Barcelona Olympic Games in 1992 and selected to ride in the World Cup in 2007.


Recently I have been more focused on teaching and raising my family. I really enjoy watching relationships form between horse and rider. I teach both those aspiring to compete and those who find training at home fulfilling. Over the years, many of my students have chosen to focus on one aspect of eventing like dressage or show jumping. Ultimately, seeing riders reach their goals is what makes training so rewarding for me. If you are interested in lessons or training with me, you can reach me at 415.717.0854 or dkorol6@gmail.com.

I grew up in Hong Kong and started riding at the age of 10, where I learned to ride on off-the-track thoroughbreds, so I quickly learned how to sit and stay on a horse. I joined the British Horse Society (BHS) pony club program and received my D and C levels in riding and road safety.  Since then, my love of horses and riding has become my passion and life’s work.


I moved to San Francisco at the age of 16 and continued to ride at the Golden Gate Park Stables. I also began teaching children and beginner adults and worked with horses boarded there. When I graduated from High School, I moved to England and became a BHS Certified instructor in the UK. While in training, I discovered my passion for dressage and the subtle art of balance, communication, trust and harmony with the horse.


In my training work, I help my students develop a balanced and equal partnership with their horse by creating trust, connection and understanding between horse and rider.
