Avril Federanko

Hi, My name is Avril; I moved to South Carolina from England in September 2008, came to Eden Farms as a volunteer a year later and am now an instructor here.

​I started my horse career in eventing and show jumping which I loved and then later became fascinated by the discipline of dressage. I rode my own dressage horses in England for over 25 years and was lucky enough to have the pleasure of owning a horse capable of competing at Prix St George level. I achieved this with the great help of my trainer Paul Hayler, a talented and dedicated teacher who is a successful international rider, trainer, and judge.

I enjoy teaching all levels from beginners to intermediate and am delighted to be involved with Eden Farms. Currently I am involved in training several horses, instructing many clients and have got my certification from PATH Intl for Therapeutic Riding.

I have been at Eden Farms since 2014. I started bringing my girls out for arena rides in 2013, shortly after we moved to the area, in hopes that they would fall in love with horses just like I did! Not long after, I started volunteering and very soon after that I was asked to fill a spot on the Eden Farms staff.

I am married and have two wonderful children. I have lived in the Upstate most of my life and just moved to this area five years ago. I started riding as a young girl, and one of the horses we had was an Arabian named Niko. He was my first horse love and will forever hold a special place in my heart!
 
I enjoy teaching lessons every week and meeting new students. I look forward to seeing my regular students weekly, and I hope to continue to instruct here at Eden Farms and Happy Hooves for a long time!
