Clear View Stables is an active member of the Western Pennsylvania Dressage Association

     
  We offer English riding lessons for everyone -- from the very beginner with no horse knowledge to those who have the highest goals of horsemanship and wish to excel in correct classical equitation.  Have questions? You'll likely find the answers here about our lesson program and what you'll want to know to get started.  
     
  Riding has a therapeutic value, as well, that promotes good health and a good life for both horse and rider. And, good rider training can lead to positive behavior influences that improve lifestyle and work style, including patience, attitude, negotiating, compromising and finding true balance in nature with horses, that is often much different, but very applicable and as challenging as the other world we live in every day.  
     
  Lesson emphasis is based on exercises and techniques for body movement needed to follow in harmony -- in a walk, a trot and a canter. Our goal is to develop the horse and the rider's athletic talent and create balance in motion.  
     
  If you're new to Clear View Stables and have horses and interested in lessons, we have 26 stable suites for boarding and caring for your horses that are second-to-none. Just as important to owners, we have a wonderful horse and rider community who spend much of their leisure time here in scenic splendor with their horses and their fellow horsemen and horse-women!  
     
  Why Clear View Stables?  
     
  Riders taking lessons at Clear View Stables are afforded many added opportunities to enrich their training with on-site shows, competitions, clinics, visiting international trainers, and special events that broaden rider knowledge and encourage mastery of horsemanship in specific areas of their choosing.  
     
  The Clear View Stables property extends 57 acres with a modern indoor and outdoor arena. As well, there are woodlands, trails and acres of pasture that are stunning and peaceful.  
     
  If you love animals and nature -- youngsters, teens, adults, older adults -- this is fun, healthy and personally rewarding. You'll make many new acquaintances, too. Learn to ride and experience a unique relationship that you develop with a horse. We can help you design a program that will suit your schedule, and you'll be guided by a qualified personal trainer who will help you meet your goals -- pleasure riding, English riding skills, competition, form, etiquette, horse health and care, and more than you dreamed!  
     
  If you are already an avid rider and are interested in improving your skills, visit us soon, call (412) 693-9686  
     
 

Introducing Thersilla Oberbarnscheidt,

teaching at Clear View Stables

From the time she was young, riding has been a constant in her life. Tessy started riding when she was 8 yo in her home country Germany. She worked with well known dressage and jumping trainers right from the start: Karin Rehbein, Wolfgang Raabe(European Champion Jumping), Thomas Voss and others.

Schleswig-Holstein the part of Germany where she rode is he German „horse county“ with multiple shows held each weekend and where the „Holsteiner“ is bred.

Very quickly Tessy started to show horses first on local and regional shows and since age 15 on national level. Her instructors always made sure that who wants to jump over fences is also able to ride dressage with a good seat and the correct aids and position. So Tessy successfully showed to 4th level dressage and 5 feet jumping courses over several years.

 
 
 

Tessy received the bronze, silver and bronze with laurel medal (4th level dressage and jumping above 65%) in Germany and got her trainer license in 1999 from Joh. Beck Broichsitter who worked as head trainer at the Spanish School in Vienna before.

 
 

After finishing High school Tessy got her degree as a businesswomen in wholesale and export trades at Mercedes Benz Germany. Afterwards she started Medical school at University of Kiel in 1999 and graduated as an MD PhD in 2005. She worked as a physician in Nephrology until the birth of her daughter Annabelle in June 2008.

 
 

Since Tessy and her family moved to the US she already competed successfully in local and USDF/USEF shows with her own as well with several training horses up to 2nd level Dressage and 3’ Jumping. She is currently training 3rd level dressage and 3’3“ courses at Clear View.

 
 

Tessy is welcoming new students who are interesting in Dressage and Jumping as well as talented horses for training, showing or marketing.
