Currently based at Hearthstone Riding Stables in Houston, Texas, Andrea Hart has been teaching dressage for over a decade. She has a lifelong love affair with horses that began as a young girl when she would seize any opportunity to ride. After taking time to raise her family, Andrea returned to the horse world and focused her efforts on developing her dressage career. 
She credits her FEI mount Nicolai with bringing her riding and training to the next level. A Bronze and Silver medalist as well as the holder of the Bronze and Silver Bars. She continues to perfect her own skills through frequent clinics, symposiums, and educational opportunities like the annual USDF FEI-Level Trainers’ conference in Florida. She had the honor of being selected to ride in the USEF Young Horse Clinics with Scott Hassler for 2 years with her young mare Winterfair. Andrea trains on a regular basis with FEI judge Hans Biss of Germany, Conrad Schumacher, Felicitas von Neuman-Cosel and Anna Whit Watkins. Andrea credits her work with Rebekah Westazke of Westazke Dressage as a key influence in developing her talents as a rider.
Andrea is currently training her own Winterfair (Win) a 9 year old Oldenburg mare bred by Anna Whitfield Watkins. Win is out of the Hanoverian Stallion Winterprinz and the Trakehner mare Meriah. She was purchased as a 3 year old and has been brought along with care. Winterfair is currently showing fourth level and schooling PSG. Together they have qualified to go to the USDF Nationals each year.
