About Us
Meet Esther Mortimer
The daughter of renowned dressage rider Ralph Mortimer, Esther began riding before she could walk, and by the age of 9 was competing at the Prix St-Georges level.
Though she was born in Ontario and now represents Canada, Esther grew up in Guatemala and represented that nation at numerous Pan American Games, Central American & Caribbean Games, and Nations’ Cups. With her current FEI partner Hernando, Esther competes internationally at the Grand Prix level.
Together with her late husband Harper Mackenzie, Esther developed a highly successful dressage training program for horses and riders of all levels, focused on correct fundamentals and systematic progress up the training scale.
She continues that legacy with Mortimer Dressage, offering training board, ship ins, freelance lessons off site, clinics and competition coaching in a positive, supportive atmosphere.
