Top Three Winner, The Maryland Horse Trials Instructor Recognition Program 2018, 2019
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 given her first pony, a Connemara mare, for her 12th birthday, and moved up 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 person to Jack LeGoff, US Olympic Team), Mary O'Rourke (IRE) and Anna Monds (NZ), Grand Prix dresaage 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, USEF and USDF, and travels to Ocala for winter training and dressage tune-up. 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. In 2018, she was awarded 3rd place in the Maryland Horse Trials Instructor Recognition Program, and in 2019 she earned 2nd place, and her junior Eventing team earned first place for the season in the inaugural Maryland Horse Trials Team Challenge in 2019! Chiantel's training center that they purchased in 2020 is based in Woodbine, Maryland.
