Brooke has taken her students to Harrisburg, Devon and the Hampton Classic, taking home champion ribbons. She is also head coach of the NCAA equestrian team here at LIU Post campus.
Noah Chasin
Style: Dressage, Natural Horsemanship, Meditative Riding, Hunter/jumper, Show Jumping
Noah started riding when he was 5 yrs old. He grew up showing on the Long Island USEF show, hunter/jumper/equitation circuit. He started out showing mostly equitation, taking first place in the Hampton Classic and HITS horse shows and moved over to concentrating on the jumper division where he continued to win and place high. After leaving for college and taking a break from riding, Noah began practicing Zen meditation.
He learned by going to a Zen monastery for week long, silent meditation intensives (known as sesshins) as well as joining a prominent zendo in NYC where he would drive to once a week from his home on Long Island.
He also learned from books and most importantly practiced (sitting zazen) for an average of 3hrs a day for over 15 yrs. During this time he noticed a connection between his body and the horse.
He learning from his experiences and within 10yrs, created his own style of meditative riding. Not finding the hunter/jumper style of riding challenging enough for his mind/body connection work, Noah began to specialize in dressage, adding his own style of meditative riding to what he learned from many great instructors of whom he took lessons from, including Olympian Courtney King Dye.
Noah loves to teach meditation and his style of meditative riding. Noah has also been practicing natural horsemanship since 2016 (driving to Delaware once a week for a couple years in order to learn from his instructor). He is currently the go to person for working with “problem” horses at NSEC. He has trained his own horses to ride bridleless and works with all his horses in liberty.

Jen started riding when she was 6 yrs old, and her passion for horses never disappeared.
