Our guest this week can best be described as an all-round Virginia horsewoman. Pam Cibula believes in versatility in training horses to learn from the hunt field and adapt to the show ring or most any other question that’s asked of them.  Growing up near Charlottesville in Southern Virginia, Pam rode Welsh ponies and became competitive with her siblings which she carried into her professional career as a working horsewoman.  She trains horses to hunt, to develop confidence cross country and use their instincts to be foot perfect, to find their own stride and jump anything.  She learned how to ride side-saddle and together with her mare Fine Art they can be found handling tough conditions as one of 10 finalists in the 2019 Virginia Field Hunter Championships or turning on her show craft at the Upperville Colt & Horse Show. Pam explains why she believes horses should be able to do anything, and why she prefers the hunt field to the blue ribbon.
