About Lori Wolgemuth

Lori Wolgemuth joined the Graemont team in 1987 moving her base of operation from Bloomsburg to Lancaster, PA.  The couple was married in January (the only time of year when horse people have time to do things like get married).  Like Steven, Lori's talent was discovered early in her life.  At age 21 Lori had already shown successfully through the AHSA levels, been a devoted student under several of the country's top dressage professionals, and competed at the FEI level in the US Continental Young Rider Championships.  With a rich childhood immersed in dressage, Lori and her devoted "horse show parents" (Ron and Jackie Novak) were well networked in the Northeastern USA riding communities.   Since that time, Lori, a USDF bronze and silver medallist, has brought along several horses through the FEI levels and has been the backbone of Graemont's successful training and lesson program.  She earned her BA in Business administration from Elizabethtown College in 1996. Lori Wolgemuth is credited for training Felix (pictured right) who went on to win at Dressage at Devon (4th level) in 1995.  Lori turned heads in West Palm Beach in 1998 riding down center line on 17.2 hand trakehner mare (pictured above) that she trained to the FEI levels.  This mare put in some excellent performances and attracted offers from some of the country's top professionals.  Lori has a unique ability to take a horse from the lower levels and really broaden its basics through Prix St. George.  One recent example of Lori's skill  is Josien (currently competing under Jan Brons).   Lori put some excellent basics on this mare that Jan could quickly build on to create one of the top PSG/ Intermediare horses competing in USA this year.  Lori is also credited for her part in the training and developing of USET long listed stallion Graf Goetz. photos courtesy of    Today, Lori rides several horses a day, and works double time as trainer at Graemont Farm in Manheim, PA and as mommy to three sons: David, Michael and Benjamin. "I really enjoy working with the quality horses that we import.  Each one has its special talents and teaching me something new.  I love that about riding.  I also enjoy seeing each horse find just the right home."
