Team Reesling

OWNER: Tracey Schork is an Ann Arbor native who always showed a love for animals growing up. She got her first horse Brandy when she was a young teenager and kept that first horse for 24 years until his passing in 2006 at 32 years old. She provided Brandy a home and a lifelong commitment by purchasing a plot of land with the help of her parents in 1986. Soon after, Tracey and her family built a barn for Brandy and a few years later built a home where Tracey and her husband Ted now raise their family. The mother of three children, Heather age 5 and 3 year old twins Adam and Bella, Tracey puts new meaning in the words "time management". Over the years, Trailsend Stable has become a breeding farm where foals are raised with love and care. Tracey believes in breeding quality horses that are easy enough for the amateur to train on their own without compromising quality. With that quality comes a horse that is also good enough to take a professional to the top. Many fine examples of these horses may be seen on our graduates page. Tracey has a Bachelors in Early Childhood Education from Eastern Michigan University and is a certified equine massage therapist. She uses the skills she acquired from both these backgrounds and applies them to her everyday work with horses.

TRAINER: Leslie Lammers believes that her best attribute as a trainer is her ability to build confidence in young horses and riders allowing them to have an "I can do it attitude." She began her own riding career at age 9 on the Hunter/Jumper Circuit but within a few years Leslie found her passion for Three-Day Eventing. By the young age of 16, she was invited to be a working student with Olympian's Bruce Davidson and Stephan Bradley at Chesterland Farms in PA. She moved up the ranks and quickly excelled in her sport. While in Pennsylvania she also was able to receive dressage instruction from USDF Hall of Famer Jessica Ranhoussen.

Leslie felt that she would like to learn each of the disciplines of Eventing separately by the top riders throughout the Country. So, soon after she graduated high school she shifted her attention first to Dressage. She was sponsored and purchased the FEI German Imported Stallion Waltmar. Leslie and Waltmar moved to California to get full time training from highly acclaimed Grand Prix Dressage Rider Leslie Morse. The highlight of this journey was her invitation to ride with Reiner Klimke in a Clinic at the L.A. Equestrian Center!

She also received instruction by Grand Prix Jumper rider Susie Hutchinson and from equestrian genius the late Jimmy Williams at the Flintridge Riding Club in California. She then moved south to New Orleans where she began working with racehorses at The Fairgrounds Racetrack. She became an exercise rider and groom where she gained a tremendous amount of knowledge about conditioning horses and leg problems. Finally, she returned back to Michigan a few years later to go to school at the University of Michigan - Dearborn where she completed a double bachelors in Communications. Throughout school she worked at the former Detroit Race Course galloping racehorses and obtained her own Thoroughbred Trainer's License. For the past few years she has been actively involved in breeding sporthorses. Now married to her husband Paul and the mother of toddler twin girls, Hailey and Lia, she is finding time to take her career to a new height once again by campaigning our Holsteiner Stallion Reesling in Dressage. Leslie is available for Clinics and Horse Training. (734) 330-4455

PROFESSIONAL HANDLER: Kellie Trosin is currently finishing up her education in Ann Arbor, Michigan. She has been riding and showing horses for over 15 years. In this time she has worked with many different breeds and disciplines. As a teenager, Kellie spent her time on the competitive Quarter Horse and Hunter/Jumper circuits where she learned how to have an edge on her competitors by presenting the nicest turned out horses at the shows. Her passion is now dressage. Keep your eye out in the show ring for Kellie and her newly approved RPSI mare. Kellie has also been a working student with Olympian Great Michael Poulin in Florida. She has also ridden with many top clinicians including Lynda Alicki and Shannon Peters.
