Teresa Butta is a native Marylander. While growing up in Glen Burnie as a horse crazy kid, she had the good fortune to be able to keep her ponies in her backyard and was taught the basics of horse care through the local 4-H and Pony Club. Her initial experiences in all the riding disciplines provided her with a well-rounded education, but she was eventually drawn into the world of dressage. Teresa knew at an early age that horses would be her life, but the road to that life has not always been an easy one. Working different jobs (sometimes two at a time) to support her dream has made her appreciate the choice she made even more.

Teresa has trained and continues to train under the top dressage riders/trainers residing in the United States. She is currently training with Scott Hassler, with whom she has been working since April 2005 when she was chosen to attend the first Young Horse Trainers Symposium. For many years, Teresa has been training with Uwe Steiner and considers him her first real mentor. She also trained and worked for both Cesar Parra and Felicitas von Neumann-Cosel. She was also a rider for Linda Zang. Teresa has also had the opportunity to ride with a long list of other trainers, including: Klaus Balkenhol, Gerhard Politz, Siegfried Peilicke, Michael Klimke, Reinhart Nelson, Steffen Peters, and Dr. Ulf Müller.

Teresa came onto the national and international dressage scene in 2006 after winning the USEF/Markel 5-Year-Old Young Horse Eastern Selection Trial in Raleigh, North Carolina, with her Dutch gelding, Unitas. She and Unitas were one of two horse and rider combinations selected to represent the United States in the 2006 World Championships for 5-Year-Old Young Horses in Verden, Germany. At Dressage at Devon in 2006, Teresa found herself in the spotlight once again aboard Dorie Forte’s Oldenburg gelding, Froelich, where she won the 4-Year-Old USEF Championship for American-bred horses. Teresa also had a very successful 2006 on her other up and coming dressage partner, Bacardi, and finished the year by winning the BLM 3rd Level Championship at Lexington, Virginia. In 2007 at the USEF/Markel Young Horse Eastern Selection Trials in Raleigh, North Carolina, Teresa and Unitas placed third in 6-Year-Old Young Horse Division and sixth on Froelich in the 5-Year-Old Young Horse Division.

Teresa will be accepting new clients for full training and trailer-in lessons at our new facility. Please contact Morgan Run Show Stables for more information!
