From Diane's web site:
Diane began riding Hunters and Jumpers as a junior in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, with the legendary Sonny Brooks and noted hunter rider Cheryl Lanctot. In 1984, she moved to the U.S. and had the privilege of owning several of the nations top Grand Prix Jumpers. They garnered many successes for the van den Berg and Ward partnership including top ten finishes at the World Cup Jumping Finals, and major wins on the WEF, East Coast and Indoor circuits. Diane also had the opportunity to train with renowned trainer, Kip Rosenthal, for 6 months prior to moving to Central Oregon in 1988.
After settling in to her new life in Sisters; in 1989, Diane campaigned the A/O Jumper Lindaquist throughout the Northwest. In 1990, she bought 30 acres in Sisters, and built a small training and breeding facility that would become Keystone Farm. Her small breeding operation became quite successful with some national success. (see Accomplishments) That same year, Diane was invited to a locally held dressage clinic with Gerhard Politz (www.GPrider.com). That one clinic was a turning point in Diane's riding education.
In 1992, she travelled to Gerhards home base at Flintridge Riding Club and purchased Darius, a horse trained by Gerhard from a young training level horse thru to the Grand Prix. This led to extensive stays at Gerhard's home base to further her education. In 1996, she also began working with Gerd Reuter (www.europerformancehorses.com) and still enjoys her working relationship with both trainers. With Darius, Diane earned her USDF Silver Medal in 1997 and the next year campaigned successfully at Intermediare II. Over the years Diane has also had the privilege of participating in clinics with Henk Glijn, Gwen Blake, Robert Dover, Felicitas von-Neumann Cosel, Pamela Goodrich and Lorraine Chappell. In the Hunter/Jumper disciplines she has participated in clinics with George Morris, Claudia Cojocar, Jeff Campf and Richard Keller.
