ABOUT US:

Elizabeth Clarke 

Beth Clarke has been involved with horses all of her life and has been a serious student of dressage for many years.  A graduate of Smith College with a degree in economics, she worked as a commercial banker for several years before attending the University of Virginia Law School.  After practicing corporate law for a few years and serving a brief tenure as Director of Dressage for the United States Equestrian Team, Ms. Clarke established a business management consulting practice with a clientele largely composed of horse related businesses.  Having taught equine specific business and law courses at the undergraduate level, she now operates the Equine Business Institute, a business management resource for professional equestrians.  Her law practice is focused primarily around the needs of equine related businesses and related contract, business management, estate planning and land conservation issues.   In addition to her business consulting and mediation practice she is a regular contributor to equine related publications and gives business planning and risk management seminars for equine professionals around the country.  She is currently the chair of the Bylaws Committee for the United States Dressage Federation, and serves on its Steering Committee for Instructor Certification.  Her current client list includes some of the most well respected riders and sport horse training and breeding farms in the United States.
