About Beth
– Beth Parrish is an “Encouraging Equestrian Coach”, and a CHA Certified Level 3 Instructor in both English and Western disciplines. She has taught thousands of lessons for the past 18 years and she started riding in 1986.
Although Beth was a ‘jumping fool’ as a child, competing in local competitions in Equitation and Jumpers, her first beloved trainer worked under the noted dressage trainer Anne Gribbons, Technical Advisor for the United States Equestrian Federation from 2010-2012. Once Beth decided to become a full-time instructor, after obtaining a BA in International Studies, from UNC Chapel Hill, she went back to her childhood trainer to take proper dressage lessons, all the while teaching a client base of 30 beginner through advanced students, in the middle of New York City at the Chelsea Piers.
She then established riding schools in Southern California, Austin, Texas, and now currently lives and teaches south of Atlanta, Georgia, in a horse friendly town called Locust Grove. She resides there with her stuntman husband, two dogs, three horses, an assortment of cats, and random neighbor ducks that stroll up to the house once the dogs are out of sight.
Beth has an unrelenting passion to improve her life and anyone else’s life that she comes into contact with. She loves to be as creative as possible, producing an uncanny amount of inspiring content on social media, as well as books found on Amazon.
You can find Beth out teaching, pretending to be a horse doing a flying lead change for her student’s benefit. Or you may also notice her quoting from her favorite movies, the Princess Bride and Star Wars, A New Hope at any given moment. As you wish…
