Team Irwin is home to World Cup rider Jaimey Irwin and Pan Am gold medallist Tina Irwin. They specialize in Dressage training, lessons, clinics and sales, as well as a one of the strongest junior/young rider programs in Canada.
Jaimey and Tina’s system of training comes directly from the German legends of Classical Dressage. Both trained in Germany with Holger Muenstermann, the well known World Cup competitor, who himself trained with highly respected masters: Reiner Klimke, Harry Boldt and Willi Schultheis.
Tina and Jaimey work with Canadian Olympic Bronze Medalist, Evi Pracht, and Robert Dover, American multiple Olympian. At the same time, they are passing their knowledge and experience to their own students, who are achieving top results both in the show ring and in achieving their personal goals.
