Meet the Highly Experienced Hegewisch Stables Team

Karla has been fortunate enough to have taught in the United States, Mexico, and India, and these experiences have given her extensive knowledge about all aspects of the sport. She has been surrounded and taught by olympic riders and international trainers, and has always had a passion for the jumper ring. Her success in and out of the ring is attributable to her belief that horsemanship, mindfulness, respect, and discipline are key components of learning how to ride. 

Iker was born into an international competitive riding family and is a Grand Prix rider that has been working with horses since age 4. His love for horses and teaching others shows in everything that he does- and he is loved by each and every person that knows him! His ability to build confidence and make you laugh go hand in hand with his expertise in teaching, and he truly encompasses all of the qualities that make a trainer exceptional.
