AMANDA HARLAN
A high school senior, 17 year old Amanda Harlan of Oakville CA has been a student of Jan's for four years. With her Dutch Warmblood, Liberte, her successes have included a 2006 SILVER MEDAL and a 2007 GOLD MEDAL at the FEI North American Young Rider Championships.
The Acres provides an environment of great inspiration for Amanda. Jan and Amy are exemplary role models. Hard working, focused and professional, they provide superb training and care for horse & rider, as well as helping strategize and support goals. It is a facility where everyone works and participates, with Jan being the first one out in the morning, and the last one in. Amanda feels honored to be at the Acres and to work with such an extraordinary rider and trainer. She is encouraged and challenged to learn, grow, & stretch, becoming a better rider and person because of it.

Since 1991 Jan has been pivotal in my development as a successful amateur rider.
His teaching style and skills, coupled with the support system his wife, Amy, and The Acres (their ranch) provides is truly unique in the dressage world (or any training facility I know).
With his almost zen-like patience, focus and understanding, Jan has been a trusted mentor, demanding teacher and valued friend both inside and outside of competition.
His obvious excitement and joy at my victories has demonstrated the depth of Jan's commitment and involvement in my career (and I know he makes all his students feel just as special!).
Not least, his assistance in purchasing the perfect horse (for me!) in Europe, and working with us both to cement the necessary bond for success has been both inspiring and fulfilling.
Although I promised to keep this short, I'd like to finish with a personal "thank you" to Jan and Amy for helping me live my dream every-time I ride in competition. Thank you!

In the arena of world-class equestrians and dressage trainers, Jan Ebeling distinguishes himself to be among the very elite. Jan has the ability to identify with the goals of the rider, help select the correct mount and successfully train both horse and rider to achieve their goals.
As a professional trainer since 1981 and a competitor I appreciate Jan's expertise and ability to focus on each client and assist them in their efforts to advance. Whether it is an amateur or professional, young horse or FEI, at his training facility or at an away clinic, Jan successfully communicates his knowledge and skill with the individualized attention that makes you feel as though you are his only and favorite client. Jan genuinely cares about each horse and rider partnership he instructs. He continually inspires you to reach for the next level. It's this unique quality that makes the distance between Michigan and California worth the commute.
