Cassie Councill

Welcome to my equestrian journey. I began my riding career at the age of six, initially specializing in hunters before transitioning to eventing at nine. After competing in Area 4 with Feine Loesung (Wren), I relocated to Ocala at fourteen to train under Joe Meyer, where I effectively balanced my competition commitments with completing my high school education.  I successfully competed with Wren through advanced  and then, competed at 3-star with Cooley Castle and a 3rd place finish.  I have competed at Bromont on Marquet Rise in 2022.
Since arriving in North Carolina, I have been growing my equestrian business. I currently provide riding lessons using my own lesson horses, as well as, offering private instruction. My services also include training board to help in finishing green horses or working with horses that need additional support and training. I want you and your horse to be confident and successful.
