Biagina Lazaroni has over 40 years riding experience that includes the disciplines of Hunter/Jumper, Dressage, Western Pleasure, Breeding and Driving. She has started many young horses, several of which went on to successful show careers and has schooled horses up to the Grand Prix level and shown up to Intermediate 1.

Biagina has also gained valuable knowledge as: Coach to the University of Oregon Riding Club for 2 seasons, Managing a 40 horse fox-hunting stable in upstate Ohio and Teaching hunter/jumper clientele in Eugene, Oregon. She has ridden in clinics with: Walter Zettl, Cindy Sydnor, Jane Savoie, Volker Brommen, Karl Mikolka, Lilo Fore, Tracey Lert, Hilda Guerney, Bettina Drummond, Seanna Adamson, Jane Ayers, Debbie Fornia and Sonya Vraco.

Biagina has also worked with FEI trainer/instructor Tracey Lert and was a participant in the USDF “L” Judges training program. 

I have enjoyed riding with and having Biagina train my horses. She is very thorough and pays much attention to detail. She has brought me to a new level of structured riding where I think things through and continue to practice until I get a movement correct. I enjoy the discussions we have each time I ride with her and how she thoroughly answers each of my questions. Recently she explained the halt/walk transitions and sitting trot to me in a way I had never heard before. Her explanation made sense and she was able to break them down for me second by second so that I understood both clearly. I thrive off this type of instruction and am enjoying my lessons immensely. Her instruction has brought me to a new level of learning in the saddle that am enjoying. I am developing feel and that is something I have been striving for.
Thank you very much for excellent lessons.

Biagina exudes professionalism and is a hard working and honest trainer.

Three years ago I had one of my imported Friesians delivered into her care until I could come pick him up myself. I was confident that Biagina would do everything possible to ensure his health and safety after such a long journey. In addition, I have taken dressage lessons from her and observed her representation of a sales horse. Her lessons are concise and correct. She is a good communicator who knows how to get the point across in an encouraging and understandable way. The horses she trains have manners and are supple and willing. When Biagina is representing your horse for sale, she is up front about her expectations and professional in the presentation of your sales horse. Finally, of utmost importance to me, she gets back to me quickly when I have emailed or left a phone message.

I owe a debt of gratitude to Biagina for fostering the relationship between me and my horse and for helping us grow into a partnership. Using her splendid intuition, firm guidance and wealth of experience and knowledge, Biagina got us on track with one another and elicited new levels of execution. I’ve learned so much from her and would highly recommend her as a professional trainer to anyone who needs a mentor, wants to raise the level of their horsemanship, improve their riding skills, develop their understanding of their equine partner and excel in the competitive arena.

I saw how my horse's mental status came first in his training program. With his mind relaxed, his body developed therefore his movement flourished. Now it is my turn to learn how to be exact with my body and aids to maintain all Cobie has learned. Under Biagina's tutelage we will work as a team up the training pyramid.

Riding with Biagina over the years has drastically improved my riding. Improving my balance, communication and attentiveness in the saddle has in turn brought my horse’s performance to a new level. Throughout my lessons with Biagina, I have begun to understand that I must improve my self and my riding in the saddle before my horse can even begin to improve under it. Her style of training is straight forward yet kind in a way that works incredibly well with my learning style.. She has taught me that you must pay attention to every small detail in order for your horse to reach his full potential. I always look forward to my lessons with Biagina, knowing my horse and I will improve each time.   

Tori  Peterson & Shasta 

I remember the first time my daughter Tori participated in a dressage clinic given by Biagina. There were several riders ahead of her, so we watched. As we watched and listened, we thought “wow, she seems kind of stern and demanding”. My daughter, at the time, was a young quiet girl so I think she was a little nervous. When it was Tori’s turn to ride, Biagina was just as we had watched, stern and demanding. But in a good way. She was “stern” in that if she asked you to do something, she expected you to try your hardest. “Demanding” in that, you don’t give up. Keep trying until you get it. And when you got it, you got it and Biagina was full of praise and encouragement. After her ride, Tori said it was a tough lesson, but she actually learned from it.

Over the next couple of years, every time a Biagina clinic came up, Tori wanted to attend. And, when the time was right for us to hire a trainer for Tori and her horse, guess who her first choice was? Biagina!

As a parent, Biagina is everything I wanted in a trainer for my daughter . Very professional, yes stern and demanding, yet full of praise and encouragement. She not only improved Tori’s skills and confidence as a rider, but as a person too. Biagina cares for and about her students. If you are serious about learning and wanting to improve as a rider, you cannot find anyone with more passion, heart, experience and training than Biagina.

Biagina has had a big part in Tori becoming the beautiful, confident rider she is today. She continues to not only be Tori’s trainer, but our friend too.

Biagina is an excellent, qualified dressage judge with years of experience riding, training, and showing all levels and breeds of horses. She is dependable and always willing to assist riders of any level.
