Clinician Ed Rothkranz

It's always a pleasure to learn from a dressage master!

Ed was Res. Canadian International Champion in 1974, Res. Eastern Canadian Champion in 1975 and Canadian Advanced Level Champion in 1977. Ed rode in the Alternate Olympics 1980 for the Canadian Olympic Team. But Ed is best known for his upper level dressage breeding and training and instruction of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. He was trained in Germany by many top riders including Heinz Pollay.

Ed's teaching ability is outstanding. He has developed, through years of experience, a systematic approach to training that serves equally well on Thoroughbreds and warmblood type performance horses. His success with students and horses, lies in his ability to motivate through clear logical explanation supported by demonstration. His genuine interest in the welfare of horse and rider,dominates throughout his clinic. He does not patronize, nor does he promise, the impossible.
Mr.Rothkranz's credibility is quickly established during his clinics. I feel Ed is one of the best teachers available to North American riders today"  (G.S. Ogilvie)s/Sgt  Riding Master

We are fortunate to have had Ed as our clinician at Premier Dressage since 1998. Ed ownes and operates Rhineland Stud Farm in Kentucky, where he breeds and trains quality warmbloods.
