Becky Langwost Barlow
Jaralyn Finn
We are pleased to have two exceptional equestrians, Rebecca Langwost-Barlow and Jaralyn Finn, who call Wyndham Oaks their home. Other trainers are welcome by prior arrangement.
► Becky Langwost-Barlow, Senior Trainer  Rebecca Langwost-Barlow is a USDF Gold, Silver, and Bronze Medalist and one of the first USDF certified trainers to Fourth Level. She was a world-ranked Grand Prix rider on her self-trained Dutch gelding Gomerant. As the first recipient of the Dressage Foundation Scholarship, she trained under the renowned Olympian Dr. Reiner Klimke and Rolf Isselhorst in Germany. She also trained with Michael Klimke, Willy Arts, Conrad Schumacher, Hans Juergen Armbrose, Rudolf Zeilinger, Georg Theodorescu and other internationally acclaimed professionals. Becky is a frequent contributor to Dressage Today, Practical Horseman and other local publications as well as serving as a training and showing expert for many national magazines. She is featured in a new book, Rhythm Riding: A Guide to Riding with Music by CeCe & Frank Maddlone. She has started many youngsters and trained horses to FEI levels including Grand Prix. She teaches students of all ages and at all levels including Grand Prix.
In 2008, her self-trained horse Welfenstein won Reserve National Hanoverian Intermediare II Champion Horse of the Year. She trained Rhett, who in 2008 was rated the top Nationally-Bred FEI Horse; Rhett and Jim Koford received the Barlow Ramsay Grant which will enable them to train and compete in Europe with trainer Conrad Schumacher. Rebecca also broke and trained Zorba S.E., who in 2008 was the top ranked Dutch 4 year-old in the country upon winning the national DG Bar Cup.
In past years, Rebecca was an FEI rider for two USDF National Symposiums: for Dr. Reiner Klimke on the elite Hanoverian stallion Guderian and for Conrad Schumacher on the Grand Prix horse Gomerant. She and her self-trained Dutch gelding Nando continue to hold the distinction of being the only horse-rider pair to win the Prix St. George and Intermediare I in the same year at the BLM Regional Finals in Lexington, VA. These are just a few of her many accomplishments; she has taken many different horses to a large number of high-score and year-end championships at all levels over the years.
Becky's experiences as a leading dressage trainer, as a competitive jumper, and as a backer of babies on the race track have given her a depth and range of knowledge met by only a few.
For information on training with Becky, please contact Linda Crivella by e-mail or at 301-299-4019.
► Jaralyn Finn, Trainer
 Jaralyn Finn trains riders and horses of all levels, from Intro to FEI. She is a USDF Silver and Bronze medalist, and a USDF “L” graduate with distinction. Originally an eventer and equitation rider, Jaralyn began to focus on dressage after working as an assistant for US dressage team member Arlene “Tuny” Page in the early 1990’s. Jaralyn has also worked extensively with “S” judge and FEI trainer Bill Warren for the last 5 years. A big believer in continuing her education, Jaralyn has ridden in clinics with many notable trainers over the years, including continuing work with Conrad Schumacher.
Jaralyn is an avid dressage competitor and she shows throughout the year. She helped several students achieve their bronze and silver medals. In addition to showing several of her clients horses, Jaralyn has several competition horses of her own: “Darius” who she has been training since 2006 and is currently showing Intermediare; “Brio” who she bought as a 6 year old and is competing 4th level; and “Finnikin” who was reserve champion at the BLM’s in Prix St. Georges in 2008. Jaralyn has qualified horses for regional championships at every level through Intermediare I.
Jaralyn’s focus as a trainer is to increase the harmony between the horse and the rider, and from there, to create a correct and competitive dressage partnership. Jaralyn accepts students and horses for full and partial training arrangements, and will also represent horses for sale. She is available to judge schooling shows and will also teach clinics.
