Enjoy this insightful and fun interview with Chemaine Hurtado!

Chemaine Hurtado is a United States Dressage Federation Diamond Award Recipient. She earned all of the scores to qualify for this award on horses that she trained, most of them started by her. This means that she worked her tail off for 35 years to earn her USDF Gold, Silver, and Bronze medals and Freestyle Bars from First Level allll the way to Grand Prix. 

She had two mares that were her main partners in achieving the Diamond, Nova and Belle. She bought Nova at 3 years old. Chemaine had started her and they learned together to get to Grand Prix! Nova and Chemaine both had two kids while on their Grand Prix Journey.  Corbin and Morgan, are Chemaine’s children and her favorite people in the world. Nova gave birth to Belle (Winter Nebel) and Roo (R Star). 

Belle and Chemaine danced their way to Intermediate 1. She dazzled many people at shows and Western States Horse Expos, presenting for Charles De Kunffy, Christian Schacht, and Chris Cox. Chemaine was also a Dressage Clinician at the Horse Expo for several years.
