Chiantel Davis Beaumont started riding on a wonderful Off Track Thoroughbred named Sneakers.  Those first lessons sparked a love for the horse which has grown stronger with time.  She was gifted her first pony, a Connemara mare, for her 12th birthday, and soon graduated to OTTBs, warmbloods and crossbreds within a couple years.  She gained immeasurable experience working for many years at close family friends' farm and veterinary practice.  She showed in dressage, evented in USEA Area I and competed at local shows, and was an upper level Pony Club graduate fortunate enough to regularly ride with eventers such as Marshall Gray (right-hand to Jack LeGoff, US Olympic Team), Mary O'Rourke (IRE) and Anna Monds (NZ), Grand Prix dressage rider Louise Trimble, and Level IV Centered Riding Instructor Judy Cross.  

After attending the University of Maine, where she studied microbiology, Chiantel moved to Maryland to continue her education at Baltimore School of Massage and completed the Equissage program for Equine Sports Massage Therapy.  During this time, she married and started a family.  She and her husband, Mark, then returned to her home state of Maine where she actively rode, taught, trained, competed, served as the Disctrict Commissioner of Penobscot Pony Club for several years, and practiced bodywork for both horses and humans (see the CDB Bodywork page).  She is an active member of the USEA and USEF and travels to Ocala for winter training and dressage tune-up as time permits.  After moving back to Maryland in 2013, Chiantel got her Maryland Jockey Club exercise license to gallop racehorses, and earned her USEA ECP certification in 2014. She earned top 3 prizes in the Maryland Horse Trials Instructor Recognition Program, several times, and her junior Eventing team earned first place for the season in the inaugural Maryland Horse Trials Team Challenge in 2019! Her current students compete from the grassroots to the FEI levels. Chiantel's training center, purchased in 2020, is based in Woodbine, Maryland. The farm has a long history and was formerly known as Happy Retreat, owned by Adelaide Riggs.Today, the property has undergone an incredible transformation thanks to uncountable hours of hard work both by the Beaumont family and their friends; what was once a beautiful racehorse training farm is now a top-notch sport horse training facility— and home.
