About Elevate Dressage

Eleanor Millerschin
Head Trainer
Ellie is a USDF bronze and silver medalist keen on developing riders and horses to the best of their abilities. Elevate Dressage services several farms throughout Metamora, Michigan, assisting horses and riders of all disciplines - her clients participate in basic trail riding, hunter/jumpers and traditional dressage all working towards improving themselves and their relationships with their horses.
Outside of her normal rides and lessons, Ellie continues her education at clinics and shows throughout Michigan. In 2022 Ellie and her gelding, Colmenar, were Fourth level Reserve Champions at Region 2 Championships and ended the season with an eighth place finish for Fourth Level Open at USDF Finals.​
​
Ellie has a talent for finding something positive in every horse and particularly enjoys working with highly sensitive and spooky horses (who she jokingly refers to as "delicate little flowers"). She enjoys helping horses gain confidence in their work and developing a mindset in her horses to work hard for their rider.
