Biography: Allison Harding

Allison Harding’s relationship with Laurie Doyle started before she was even born. In the late 70’s her mother, European Bronze Medalist, Carolyn Carroll, trained with Laurie while pregnant with Allison.

The USDF Bronze, Silver, and Gold Medalist started riding with the Pony Club where she became a Graduate B Pony Clubber.  Later, she competed as a 3-Day Eventer.  Upon completing her Bachelor degree, Allison returned to  riding again and began to focus her energy on Dressage.

She trained with Steffen Peters, Heiner Haas and her mother, Carolyn Carroll before coming to work for Laurie in 2005. She has ridden in clinics with Robert Dover and Lisa Wilcox and continues to grow as a rider, trainer, and competitor.

Like her current teacher and mentor, Allison’s goal with her clients and the horses she trains is to create suppleness and lightness. She works with horses and clients at all levels of dressage, from youngsters up to Grand Prix. Along with her active training business, she also is available for clinics.
