Groenwohldhof, FEI 'O' judge, Linda Zang, and most recently, Olympian Steffan Peters. Rebecca has been working
as the assistant trainer at Hidden Spring Farm in Knightdale, NC under head trainer Kay Meredith, for the last
several years.
Rebecca has successfully brought along several horses from training level through Intermediare I under Kay's tutelage.

has most recently and successfully shown Kay Meredith's Swedish gelding, Royal Scandal Mangalam through Grand Prix
