Karmen Mills teaches Dressage at Around the Bend Farm in Newcastle, California. She also has extensive knowledge in choosing, fitting and blanketing techniques due to her years spent working at Christensen's tack store in Loomis, Ca. "As a dressage trainer and instructor, my primary goal is to strengthen the bond and working partnership between the rider and his or her horse." Karmen firmly believes "the work should never compromise the spirit of the horse, as the intent is never to create a machine out of the rider or the horse. I believe the work should be enjoyable for both parties, and truly believe in the ability of dressage work to improve the movement of any breed or type of horse."
