Nicole Foster opened her own training facility in 2006 and purchased her Lakeside stables farm in 2019. She currently works full time as a Realtor and is therefore no longer actively teaching. She may be found judging horse shows and offering riding clinics.
Nicole has been the proud trainer of numerous state, regional, and national high point champions. Her teaching philosophy is there are no shortcuts to good horsemanship and that horses teach many of life's most important lessons.
Her career highlights include being a 2020/2021 honorary member of the American Saddlebred Horse Association Board of Directors, being named 2017 UPHA Chapter Horse Person of the Year, 2014 UPHA Chapter Horse Person of the Year, and has trained several World and National champion horses and riders.
