Resident English Trainer
Debbi Long - Long Farms 

Debbi provides instruction and training to all levels of hunters, jumpers and equitation, from ponies to Grand Prix jumping.

Debbi Long has been an avid equestrian since she was 4 years old, growing up in the Pasadena, California area with horses in the backyard. She rode under the umbrella of Jimmy Williams at Flintridge for a portion of her junior years. The college years include a degree in Early Childhood Education and an Elementary Teaching Certificate. Later equestrian opportunities include working three years for Rudy Leone and Dusty Blackwood in northern California where the focus was the importation and development of Dutch Warmbloods. Patty Ball of Penryn CA put an equitation polish to her ride. Since moving to Idaho in 1992, she works with Bob McDonald, as well as nationally respected clinicians such as George Morris and Frank Selinger. As a mom of 3 grown sons and a grandmother of 5, Debbi values the importance of family and relationships. The Long family owns and operates Cascade Raft and Kayak in Idaho during the summer months, and conducts adventure travel trips to Chile in the winter.
