Jose Alberto MORA
Alberto Moras is the barn manager of Broadfield Farm and oversees all aspects of horse care and management. He is an able and sensitive veterinary technician able to manage lameness and illness (with veterinary supervision when necessary), medicate horses, use therapeutic ultrasound and laser therapies, handle all aspects related to horse transportation whether national or international in nature and effectively handle stallions (young and old) in competition or breeding situations. He has worked with many of America’s top trainers and performance horses and has been with Broadfield Farm for 10 years.
Sasha Newman (DUBOIS)
Sasha Newman rode competitively from the age of five and was a nationally ranked junior and amateur rider. She continued to ride while pursuing a career in the arts and was a professor/curator of Art History at Yale University from 1986-1995 during which time she authored numerous books and articles in her areas of expertise: European art of the late 19th/early 20th century (particularly Pierre Bonnard who was the subject of her Ph.D dissertation) and American and German art of the 1960s. She is fluent in French and conversant in German. She left Yale in 1995 to pursue her passion -- riding and training dressage horses. She has worked with Volker Bromman and Michael Poulin and has been coached by Patrick le Rolland for the past decade. Sasha has produced dressage horses that have competed at the NAYRC championships, the USET championships at Gladstone New Jersey and ridden at the Grand Prix level in European CDI’s. Dressage riders trained by her have competed in the NAYRC (and gold medaled there) and in numerous regional finals. She also trains hunters and jumpers as she is devoted to the classical training system learned from her mentor Patrick le Rolland and her horses have had numerous successes in these disciplines.
Dean PEARSON
Dean Pearson is an internationally renowned farrier who has shod numerous Olympic and World Game competitors. His artistry and technique are critical to the success of this sport horse program and have allowed horses to continue to compete soundly when no amount of veterinary intervention could solve the problem. The old adage “no foot no horse” is as true today as it was 200 years ago and Broadfield Farm is a firm believer in the overwhelming benefits of intelligent shoeing.
PATRICK LE ROLLAND
Patrick le Rolland is perhaps one of the last of the old masters still riding and training today. Formed at the Cadre Noir in Saumur Patrick was one of the only French riders to achieve international success as a dressage trainer and competitor. Known as one of the greatest riders in the world (and acknowledged as such by jumper and dressage rider alike – among them George Morris and Herbert Rehbein) he competed in his first Olympics in 1972 on the explosive Cremique where he was the first rider to ever receive a perfect ten for his position and effectiveness of the aids. Patrick has trained innumerable Grand Prix dressage horses and riders including Margit Otto Crepin, Dominique D’esme, Donnerwetter, Ibis, Ralph Lauren, etc. He is an incredibly sensitive and patient teacher, a passionate perfectionist and as brilliant with jumpers (he coaches members of the French jumping team) as he is with piaffe/passage. Patrick has been coaching Sasha Newman for the last twelve years or so (she has also spent time working with him in Europe) and Broadfield Farm is unbelievably fortunate to have Patrick visit for clinics on a regular basis and to remain in residence during a large part of the winter season in Florida.
